Which category does robbery fall under?

Crimes Against Persons
Crimes Against Property
Crimes Against Public Decency
Crimes Against the Government

The correct answer is: Crimes Against Property

Robbery is classified as a crime against persons, rather than a crime against property. It involves taking someone's property by force or threat of force, which directly harms the victim. The violent nature and the element of intimidation associated with robbery distinguish it from property crimes that do not involve direct interaction with a person, such as burglary or theft. As such, robbery primarily concerns the safety and rights of individuals, making it fittingly categorized as a crime against persons. Understanding this classification helps delineate the various types of unlawful acts and their implications on victims' rights and societal safety.
