Robbery Law

Robbery is a serious crime that involves taking someone else's property through force or the threat of force. Unlike theft, which can occur without confrontation, robbery involves directly intimidating or harming a person to steal. This can happen in various situations, like at a bank or in the street. Because it involves violence or the fear of violence, robbery is classified as a violent crime. Penalties for robbery can be severe, often resulting in significant prison time, reflecting the impact it has on victims and society.
