Our cause of concern: Robbery
By Santiago Gonzalez Bugtrup and Julián Tognón
The topic we are going to talk about is the robbery.
We choose this topic because nowadays there are a lot of robberies, some of them using the violence, or even killing the victim. We searched information of the robberies, including the definition of robbery, the types of robbery and some cases.
The most “used” definition of robbery is:
“Robbery is the crime of taking or attempting to take anything of value by force, threat of force or by putting the victim in fear”.
There are different types of robbery:
Armed robbery, aggravated robbery, mugging, carjacking, extortion, bragging, stick-up and steaming.
Researches show that the most dangerous country regarding theft is Argentina because 973 per 100000 people are stolen, also in 2015 there were 10,500 deaths and injuries from robberies.
Sometimes the victim decides to punish the robber by his own hand, injuring him or killing him, when the victim does that then the police proceed to put him in jail, but when the robbers injure someone and they capture them, they only left him in jail for some hours.
Finally we have one more concern, sometimes kids get influenced by what they see so a small group of kids becomes robbers, but they usually rob candies, food and drinks. If they are not stopped then in the future they will rob in houses and rob money. We think that if there were no poor people in the world, then the robbers will not exist, but people only think of themselves so they will not do anything.
