mugging  

Definición

  • Mugging is a term referring to robbery, which is a crime legally differentiated from larceny or larceny-theft by two factors: robbery explicitly requires the removal of property from a person (rather than a burglary or simple theft from a home, office, etc.), and robbery explicitly requires the use of physical intimidation or actual violence. Mugging specifically refers to a robbery that occurs in the street, and as a slang term seems tied to urban areas, rather than small towns or rural areas.
