Robbery
Robbery is generally considered a crime against property. Robbery is the taking of money or other property which may be the subject of larceny from the person or custody of another, with intent to either permanently or temporarily deprive the person or the owner of the money or other property, when in the course of the taking there is the use of force, violence, assault, or fear. Penalties vary by state, but usually if in the course of committing the robbery the offender carried a firearm or other deadly weapon, then the robbery is a felony of the first degree. If in the course of committing the robbery the offender carried no firearm, deadly weapon, or other weapon, then the robbery is usually a felony of a lesser degree. Important Notice
