What’s the difference between robbery and larceny?
Robbery is similar to larceny in that it involves unlawfully taking somebody else’s property. Larceny is simply a legal term for theft.
Robbery differs from theft, however, as it also involves an assault on another person. That is, a force or threat is used to steal or take property.
