Which term describes theft involving a weapon, classified as a violent crime?

• A. Criminal Offense
• B. Fillers
• C. Armed Robbery
• D. Identification Procedures

Answer: (C)

Armed robbery is the term for theft that involves a weapon and is treated as a violent crime because it uses force or the threat of force to take property from someone. The essential idea is that taking property from another person is accomplished through intimidation or actual harm, and adding a weapon escalates the offense, signaling greater danger and a higher level of risk to the victim. That’s why this term best fits the description of theft involving a weapon and why it’s categorized as a violent crime. The other options don’t fit: a broad label like criminal offense is too general, something like identification procedures refers to how suspects are identified rather than the crime itself, and a term like fillers isn’t a recognized legal term for a crime.
