READING
BANK ROBBERY
Bank robbery is the crime of stealing from a bank during opening hours. According to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting Program, robbery is "the taking or attempting to
take anything of value from the care, custody, or control of a person or persons by force or threat of
force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear." By contrast, burglary is defined as, "unlawful
entry of a structure to commit a felony or theft." So that bank robbery is defined as entering a bank
when it is open and either by using force or the threat of force or otherwise obtaining valuables,
usually money. Breaking into a bank when it is closed is burglary.
Bank robbery is most frequently in cities and large towns. The share of bank robberies in small towns
increased from about 20% in 1996 to about one third in 2002, but the majority of bank robberies are
concentrated in urban areas. This concentration is often attributed to there being more branches in
urban areas, but the number of bank robberies is disproportionately higher than the number of
branches. In Canada, for example, seven cities have 30 percent of all bank branches but 66 percent
of all bank robberies; in the United Kingdom, London has 10 percent of the nation's branches but 39
percent of its bank robberies.
