This is the Study Guide used in class with my added notes. This includes a summary of all the different sections of Robbery, including cases, judgements and explanations.
, Robbery
Robbery is defined under section 8 of the Theft Act 1968:
“A person is guilty of robbery if he
steals, and immediately before or at
the time of doing so, and in order to
do so, he uses force on any person or
puts or seeks to put any person in fear
of being then and there subjected to
Robbery is therefore a THEFT which is aggravated by the USE OR THREAT OF
FORCE.
The elements that must be proven for robbery are:
Completed Theft
Topic 5 :
Use of force or putting, or seeking to put, any person in fear of force -> which
must be used immediately before or at the time of the theft and in order to steal
Mens rea for theft (dishonesty and intent to permanently deprive)
