《1916年盗窃罪法令》(英语:Larceny Act 1916)是英国国会的一项法令,旨在综合和简化与可公诉的盗窃罪(larceny)及类似罪行有关的法律。[3]
就该法令而言,盗窃罪的定义是“a person steals who, without the consent of the owner, fraudulently and without a claim of right made in good faith; takes and carries away anything capable of being stolen, with the intent at the time of such taking, permanently to deprive the owner thereof. Provided that a person may be guilty of stealing any such thing notwithstanding that he has lawful possession thereof, if, being a bailee or part owner thereof, he fraudulently converts the same to his own use or the use of any person other than the owner”。[4]
第18及19条订立了盗用公款(embezzlement)的罪行。
第20及21条分别订立了侵占(conversion)及受托人作出侵占(conversion by trustee)的罪行。
第23条对抢劫罪(robbery)及严重抢劫罪(aggravated robbery)订定了最高刑罚。
第24条订立了亵渎罪(sacrilege)。
第25条订立了入屋犯法罪(burglary)。
第29至31条与勒索罪(blackmail)有关。
第32条与虚假表述(false pretence)的罪行有关。
废除
《1916年盗窃罪法令》于1969年1月1日[5]废除[6],即不再适用于该日期之后所犯的罪行。[7]根据《1968年盗窃罪法令》第1(1)条,原有的盗窃罪(larceny)被更广泛的盗窃罪(theft)所取代。[8]后者纳入了前者的一些术语及实质内容。
