Alex enters a jewelry store late at night, points a fake gun at the clerk, and demands all the cash from the register. The clerk complies and hands over the money without any physical contact. Which crime has Alex most likely committed?
Alex has committed robbery, which involves taking property from a person or their immediate presence through the use of force or threat of force. The use of a weapon and the threat to compel the clerk to hand over money are key elements distinguishing robbery from theft or burglary.
