<![CDATA[Robbery, as a form of theft accompanied by violence or threats of violence, has become a significant criminal phenomenon in urban societies. Rapid urbanization, population density, socioeconomic inequality, and limited employment opportunities contribute to the increasing occurrence of this crime in metropolitan areas.
