Robbery refers to the act of taking or attempting to take something of value by force, with or without a weapon. It is defined as taking actual property, through the use of threat or aggression towards another person. The act of robbery differs from theft, in its use of violence and intimidation. If you have been charged with robbery, you may face various degrees of criminal charges, depending on your situation. Robbery can be classified different ways, depending on if there was a gun or other weapon involved, or if anyone was hurt. The different forms of robbery include:

• Armed robbery
• Aggravated robbery
• Highway robbery or "mugging"
• Carjacking
• Extortion
