Bank Robbery
|
| Abstract:
Bank robberies are relatively uncommon: only about 2 of every 100 robberies are of a bank. Although violence is rare, employees and customers are at some risk of injury. If nothing else, being victimized can be terrifying. In addition, bank robberies can invoke fear in the community at large, as most are well-covered by the media. Because of the potential for violence, police always respond quickly to a bank robbery in progress. This guide begins by describing the problem of bank robbery and reviewing the factors that increase its risks. It then identifies a series of questions to help local law enforcement analyze their local bank robbery problem. Finally, it reviews responses to the problem of bank robbery as identified through research and police practice.
