ROBBERY

Robbery is the crime of taking or attempting to take anything of value by force, threat of force or by putting the victim in fear.  Robbery is defined as taking the property of another, with the intent to permanently deprive the person of that property, by means of force or fear. Robbery is differentiated from other forms of theft (such as burglary, shoplifting or car theft) by its inherently violent nature (a violent crime); whereas many lesser forms of theft are punished as misdemeanors, robbery is always a felony in jurisdictions that distinguish between the two.
