Robbery and extortion are two very different crimes. Robbery is defined as anyone taking something of value from another person by threatening them using force, intimidation, or any kind of violence. Extortion refers to a person forcing another person to do something against their will by using threat to personal property or reputation, or sometimes financial damage or hardship. Usually money is involved, as with blackmail or racketeering. The key difference between the two is that robbery involves immediate and physical threat and danger to the victim, whereas in extortion the victim willingly hands over money or property or valuables in an effort to avoid future damage. In robbery, items are taken without consent. In extortion, the items are taken with consent, though against the free and independent will of the victim.
The sentencing guidelines for extortion depend on the type of extortion committed. Charges can carry fines or jail sentences based on severity.
