Robbery

Robbery is the act of “seizing property through violence or intimidation.” There are many degrees of robbery. Robbery is a common worldwide phenomenon and has many causes. When people are poor and/or their countries cannot provide enough for everyone, many people often resort to robbery to meet their needs. They may steal from one another, as well as destroy one another’s property.

Another cause of robbery is simple greed. There are many interesting things in the United States that people want, including:

• Videogame systems
• Computers
• Television sets
• Cars
• Jewelry
• Food

Money is so important in our society, and people have only a limited amount of it, so they resort to robbery to get what they want.

Moreover, robbery can also be caused by poor parenting. When parents do not teach their children the rules of society, children may start attempting robbery from a young age. They may steal from their peers, and if their habits go unchecked, their acts of robbery may continue and even likely worsen as they become adults.

Often robbery of an individual involves showing the individual a gun and demanding the individual’s possessions. Robbery can also involve several individuals “jumping” or attacking another individual to gain possession of that single individual’s belongings. Robbery may also be the act of breaking into someone’s residence to steal their things.
