Robbery

Robbery is a crime that involves taking someone else's property by using force, intimidation, or the threat of violence. Unlike theft, which can occur without direct confrontation, robbery generally involves the victim feeling threatened or harmed. For example, if someone holds a weapon and demands money from a person, that act is considered robbery. It's taken seriously by the law because it not only involves losing possessions but also creates fear and danger to the person involved. In many jurisdictions, the penalties for robbery are significant due to its violent nature.
