The act of using force or fear to take someone else’s property is a crime against which categories?

• A. Person
• B. None
• C. Property
• D. Both Person and Property

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that some crimes involve harming a person and also damaging or taking property. Using force or intimidation to take someone else’s property fits both categories. When someone uses force or creates fear to steal, there’s the personal harm element (the threat or use of force against a person) and the property element (taking the property itself). So the act is a crime against both the person and the property. If there were no force or fear involved, it would typically be a property crime like theft. If it involved only harming a person without taking property, it would be a crime against the person; but robbery specifically combines both aspects, making it a crime against both.
