Robbery is one of the most reviled crimes in society. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most common. But a growing body of research is showing that there can be positive aspects to robbing. Below are some of the benefits of committing a robbery.

Improve Mental Health: Anecdotal reports show that as a result of robberies, participants can experience a heightened sense of self-worth, and even a rush of adrenaline. Through robbing, participants are liberated from their everyday monotony, gaining a much needed break from their otherwise mundane lives.

Economic Benefits: Robbery can have a positive economic impact for both the robber and the victim. Studies have found that participants in robberies often experience a financial boom due to the money and goods they have taken. This can be used to help those in financial need. Additionally, the victim of a robbery can experience an unexpected financial gain. For example, a victim of a bank robbery can gain financial assistance through fraud protection insurance.

Crime Deterrent: Studies show that crime levels drop in the vicinity of robberies as other criminals are deterred by the presence of police responding to a robbery. This can increase public safety and lead to better quality of life.

Robbery can be a serious offense and one that should not be taken lightly, yet there are positive aspects to it. It can provide an adrenaline rush for participants, improve mental health, and potentially increase economic wellbeing for both the robber and the victim. It can also serve as a deterrent to other criminals, making the community at large safer.
