Editing Robbery (section)

==Types of robbery==
Among the types of robbery are '''armed robbery''', which involves the use of a [[weapon]], and '''aggravated robbery''', when someone brings with them a deadly weapon or something that appears to be a deadly weapon. Highway robbery or [[mugging]] takes place outside or in a [[public place]] such as a sidewalk, street, or parking lot. [[Carjacking]] is the act of stealing a car from a victim by force. 

Criminal slang for various kinds of robbery includes "[[wikt:blagging|blagging]]" (armed robbery, usually of a bank), "[[wikt:stickup|stickup]]" (derived from the verbal command [[wikt:stick 'em up|"Stick 'em up!"]] to robbery targets to raise their hands in the air), and "[[steaming (crime)|steaming]]" (organized robbery; originally referred to robbery of trains); see [[Wiktionary:robbery]] for more.
