Understanding the Difference Between Burglary and Robbery

Burglary and robbery can be thought of as one and the same, to many people, but the fact is that they are different and will be prosecuted and sentenced differently. Here are the basic definitions of both:

• Burglary – Also known as breaking and entering, or remaining within a structure without the consent of the owner, with the intent to commit a felony or theft crime. The state bears the burden of having to prove that there was intent to steal something or commit another felony crime.
• Robbery – Taking another individual’s personal property, using force or threatening force against them or someone else that the victim knows. This can become aggravated robbery when the use of a firearm or other dangerous weapon is used, or the victim is made to believe there is a deadly weapon involved.

Ramifications of a Conviction

Getting convicted of a robbery charge can result in severe penalties which include probation, fines, community service, restitution, incarceration, and a permanent criminal record. The future after a conviction may hold many difficulties, such as finding employment, or keeping a job, obtaining loans or credit, renting, leasing or buying a home and obtaining certain professional licenses to name a few. There are many repercussions to being convicted of robbery, one of which is the criminal record you will incur.

How a Chicago Robbery Defense Attorney Can Help You

Robbery is considered a theft crime. It is defined as using force or threat of violence to take someone’s property. Because it is considered a crime of violence, law enforcement investigators are anxious to find evidence of guilt and prosecutors are eager to obtain a conviction.

There are many different kinds of robbery including armed robbery. Armed robbery involves the use of a weapon which could result in a weapons charge being filed. Officers in their eagerness sometimes make mistakes or take shortcuts during an investigation or arrest. Eyewitness identification has proven to be unreliable in the past.
