The law deems robbery as one of the most violent crimes a person can commit. Robbery is a criminal act. When a person seizes the property of another through violence or intimidation, then the person may be charged with robbery. A person who commits robbery is called a robber. Generally, some form of violence is used in the commission of a robbery.
Robbery combined with the use of a weapon is classified as armed robbery. The law punishes those who commit armed robbery very harshly.
Carjacking is a form of robbery. The item that is stolen in a carjacking is the automobile itself. Again, this is a crime of violence and almost every state in the United States imposes a very harsh penalty on those who are convicted of carjacking.
Robbing a bank that is federally insured is a federal crime.
