Robert · Accepted Answer

Robbery 
Before determining if the case can be classified as robbery one has to ascertain the 
definition of robbery from the criminal justice perspective. Robbery “is both a property crime 
and a crime of violence. The definition of robbery delineates the relationship between these two 
dimensions: theft or attempted theft by force or the threat of violence” (CRJ105 – Week 5 
Scenario, n.d.). Now in the light of the aforesaid definition if the case is analyzed it can be seen 
that the man wearing the mask used means of coercion to forcefully obtain the money from the 
storekeeper. He even used violence in the form of hitting the storekeeper with something hard.
