armed robbery  

Definition

  • Armed robbery is a crime that has elements of both violent crime and property crime. Robbery is perhaps one of the most feared of all crimes, whether it occurs on the street—where unsuspecting individuals are “held up” at gunpoint—or in a commercial establishment such as a convenience store or bank.
