ATM Robbery inside a convenience store would be categorized in the UCR as which offense?

• A. Bank robbery
• B. Robbery
• C. Convenience store robbery
• D. Highway robbery

Answer: (C)

The important idea here is how UCR labels robberies by location. A robbery is defined by taking property from a person or in their presence through force or threat. If the incident happens inside a convenience store, even if it involves cash from an ATM, it’s recorded as a robbery at a convenience store. That’s why the situation is categorized as a convenience store robbery rather than a bank robbery or highway robbery. Bank robbery would be used if the target were a bank itself, and highway robbery refers to crimes on a road, not in a store.
