About Forgery
Forgery is a crime which involves making false replicas (counterfeiting) or altering documents, goods or other items with the purpose of deceiving others. A person would commit forgery in order to make a fake item seem real or to alter a real item to make it more valuable to the offender. For example, making a replica of a work of art and attempting to sell it as the real thing may constitute forgery. Altering a valid prescription slip to make a pharmacy dispense more drugs than the doctor intended would also be a form of forgery. Fraud is also associated with forgery, as creating the forged item would be done in order to commit fraud.
Forgery may relate to a number of different items:
- Works of art
- Legal documents
- Identification documents
- Securities, stocks and bonds
- Prescription slips
- Financial documents
- Designer goods
