Robbery/Burglary

Robbery is a crime that may carry a lasting social stigma as well as serious legal consequences. . Punishment for a conviction can often be quite severe. Robbery is the act of depriving someone of their personal property while in their presence through the use of force or fear. The property can either be taken from the person or from their immediate surroundings. If a deadly weapon such as a gun is used or the victim suffers physical harm, the act can be classified as "armed" or "aggravated" and the severity of the punishment can be increased. Such punishments are the general rule and can increase or decrease based on additional factors. For example, a person's past criminal record can increase the likelihood that a more severe punishment will be proscribed. Additional factors can include, but are not limited to, the attitude of the community and the court toward the type of crime, the degree of media attention to the case, and other mitigating or aggravating circumstances.
