Abstract
The criminal offense of robbery is not mentioned in the oldest legal monuments. However, it represents the legal construction that has been introduced afterwards. Robbery includes both coercion and theft, which are in a special mutual relationship. Coercion is the means for performing theft, that is taking away someone's movable by using force. Ratio legis of this criminal offense reflects legislator's striving to introduce within their incrimination zone two independent criminal offenses made by the unity of time and space. According to its nature, robbery represents a serious criminal offense because it attacks basic human rights (life, body and property), which is confirmed by the penalty of imprisonment. Since it represents the modified form of violent theft in its basis, it is necessary to define its place in legislation and court practice. Thus, the paper will consider all important issues of this criminal offense within mentioned framework.
