THE CONSTITUTIVE CONTENTS OF ROBBERY
THE CONSTITUTIVE CONTENTS OF ROBBERY

Summary/Abstract: All human societies have thoroughly disapproved of robbery as a deed through which a person appropriates a good belonging to somebody else. In various law systems, this deed has been vehemently incriminated, and when the robber used violence to accomplish his action the crime was called robbery and was drastically sanctioned. Since it has a high degree of social hazard, robbery is rejected by most citizens, its accomplishment trenching upon the elementary human rights. Through its concrete contents, robbery trenches upon a person’s fundamental attributes: on the one hand, property, on the other hand, freedom, bodily integrity, health, and sometimes even life itself. Therefore, robbery is a complex crime because its contents join, according to the law-maker’s will, robbery, on the one hand, and violence and threat on the other hand, crimes which are distinctly incriminated by the penal Code. However, when violence or threat was used to do the robbery, or when they followed it, there is a close connection between robbery and violence or threat, which has led to an approach that considers it one criminal unit.
