What are the most common motivations for the commission of the crime of robbery?
What will be an ideal response?
• For most robbers, the crime is about supporting a particular lifestyle, particularly one fueled by illicit drugs. But for a small group of entrenched armed robbery offenders, the motivation to commit armed robbery appears to be more about earning a regular (illicit) income, a means to pay bills and support a family (i.e., more like a regular job).
