Opis

Armed robbery is regarded as one of the most serious crimes, and is widely reported in the media. Many convicted armed robbers receive long prison sentences, and although not one of the most frequently committed crimes a disproportionate percentage of the prison population is imprisoned for armed robbery and related offences. The police have targeted it as a key crime for intervention, but have found it difficult to deal with effectively, as recent corruption cases have shown.
