Answer to Question 1

Answer: The professional robber is characterized as having a long-term commitment to crime as a source of livelihood, planning and organizing crimes before committing them, and pursuing money to support a particular lifestyle. The professional robber recognizes robbery as a type of crime that is quick, direct, and profitable. The pro might typically effect three or four big scores a year to support him- or herself, all well planned, and sometimes while working in groups with specifically assigned tasks for all group members. The opportunist will steal to obtain small amounts of money when he or she identifies what seems to be a vulnerable target. Examples of opportunist targets are cab drivers, drunks, and elderly people. The opportunist is typically a younger perpetrator who does not plan the crime well (e.g., use of weapons, getaway car). Typically, he or she operates in the environment of a juvenile gang. The drug addict robber robs to support his or her drug habit. Unlike the professional, he or she has a low commitment to robbery because of its danger but a high commitment to theft because it supplies much-needed funds. Although the addict is less likely to use a weapon, he or she is more cautious than the opportunist. Excessive consumption of alcohol may cause some persons to enter into robbery as a criminal alternative. Alcoholic robbers plan their crimes randomly.
