Define robbery and discuss the distinction between someone who has been robbed and someone who has been burglarized

What will be an ideal response?


• Robbery is defined as the theft or attempted theft, in a direct confrontation with the victim, by force or the threat of force or violence. Although burglaries are also instances of theft, such incidents are not actually robbery unless the burglar encounters someone in the structure and uses force or threatens them as a means of completing the theft. A pick pocketing victim, for example, has typically not been robbed.
