Crimes in progress are criminal acts characterised by an indeterminate duration and the absence of a defined end point, often involving continuous or repetitive illegal behaviour. These offences can include kidnapping, embezzlement[2]The same can be said of stalking, environmental crimes and domestic violence. Unlike completed offences, crimes in progress present unique legal challenges, such as complex evidence gathering, prosecution across jurisdictions and determining precise time intervals. Limitation periods can differ, and the courts often consider the damage[3] caused by prolonged criminal behaviour. Law enforcement authorities face significant obstacles in investigating these crimes, which can involve hidden or persistent illicit activities. Perpetrators can be charged for each instance of behaviour criminal[1]and the sentence can reflect the seriousness and duration of the offence. Victims of ongoing offences often experience complex legal and practical challenges throughout the investigative and judicial processes.
