Section 380 of the Criminal Code is associated with which crime?

1. Fraud

2. Theft

3. Intimidation

4. False Pretence

The correct answer is: Fraud

Section 380 of the Criminal Code is specifically related to the crime of fraud. This means that if a person commits an act that involves deceit, deception, or fraudulent misrepresentation with the intent to defraud another person, they could be charged with this offense. Some examples of fraud include identity theft, insurance fraud, or pyramid schemes. It is important to note that although theft and false pretense can both involve taking something of value from someone else, they are separate crimes with different elements and penalties. Similarly, although intimidation involves causing fear or harm to another person, it is not associated with Section 380 of the Criminal Code.
