There are a variety of different ways to classify crimes. For example, property crimes generally involve accusations of theft or claims that someone has taken or destroyed property belonging to someone else. Violent crimes involve accusations that a person has caused harm to others or threatened to do so. However, some offenses may fall under more than one category. Robbery is one such crime, since it involves both the theft of property and the use or threat of violence. 

Anyone who has been accused of committing robbery or the related offense of carjacking will need to understand the potential penalties they may face and their options for defense. An experienced attorney can provide invaluable guidance in these situations, representing those who have been accused and helping them navigate through the complexities of their cases.
