It then provides a series of questions to help you analyze your local street robbery problem. Finally, it reviews responses to the problem and what is known about them from evaluative research and police practice. In this guide, a street robbery is defined as a crime with the following five characteristics: - the offender targets a victim; - the victim is a pedestrian and a stranger; - the offender attempts or completes a theft of cash or property; - the offender uses force or the threat of force against the victim; and - the offense occurs in a public or semipublic place, such as on a street, in an alley, in a parking garage, in a public park, on or near public transportation, or in a shared apartment hallway. Importantly, a street robbery need not involve a weapon, nor is it necessary that the offender injures the victim. Several subtypes of street robbery exist that vary in frequency depending on local circumstances. Among the better known are: - purse-snatching (referred to as "snatch theft" in this guide); - robbery of migrant laborers; - robbery at automated teller machines; - robbery of drunken bar patrons; robbery of students (e.g., middle- and high-school students and college students); and - robbery of passengers near public transportation systems.
