Robbers typically target individuals, businesses, residences, or even public places with the aim of obtaining valuable possessions, money, or other valuable assets.
Robbers are known to employ various methods to carry out their criminal acts. These methods may include breaking into a property, such as a home or a commercial establishment, to steal goods or cash, or physically confronting and forcefully robbing unsuspecting victims in public spaces, such as streets, parks, or public transportation. In some cases, robbers may also resort to more strategic or high-tech approaches, such as cyber theft, identity theft, or hacking to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information or funds.

The severity of punishment for robbery varies depending on the jurisdiction and the circumstances surrounding the crime. The intent behind the actions, the use of weapons or violence, and the value of the stolen items are some factors that may influence the gravity of the offense and the corresponding penalties imposed upon conviction.

The word robbers originated from the Middle English term robbere, which in turn was derived from the Old French word rober, meaning to rob or plunder. The Old French word can be traced back to the Late Latin term robbare, which had the same meaning. Ultimately, the Latin term was influenced by the Germanic word hrober, which meant to snatch or to grab.
