WHAT RESPONSIBILITY IS PROVIDED FOR ROBBERY?
Robbery is one of the most serious crimes, as it involves not only theft but also violence or the threat of violence, creating a real danger to the life and health of the victim. Such an offense carries severe penalties as it is a particularly serious crime against personal property. Robbery cases are complex and require careful consideration of each circumstance.
WHAT IS ROBBERY AND WHAT RESPONSIBILITY DOES IT CARRY?
Robbery is a crime that involves committing violence or threatening violence to unlawfully seize someone else's property. This crime is particularly serious as it not only infringes property rights but also endangers the physical safety of the victim. Several factors are crucial for qualifying robbery: the presence of violence, use of weapons, breaking into a home, involvement of a group of people, and other circumstances.
Punishment for robbery includes imprisonment for a term ranging from 3 to 15 years, and in some cases, with aggravating circumstances, additional punishment in the form of confiscation of property may apply.
WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES CAN COMPLICATE THE CASE?
For qualifying robbery, certain circumstances play a significant role and can complicate the case and affect the verdict. Let’s look at the most common aggravating factors that may lead to more severe punishments:
- Use of weapons: If firearms or cold weapons were used during the robbery, it significantly complicates the case and increases the punishment.
- Breaking into a home: If the robbery was committed by breaking into a home or other premises of the victim, this is an aggravating circumstance leading to a higher level of punishment.
- Group of people: If the crime was committed by a group of individuals, this is also a qualifying feature that increases the sentence.
