robbery victim

Stolen from person

A robbery victim is a person who has been robbed—someone from whom property was taken by force or threat of force.

The term appears frequently in crime reporting and legal contexts: The robbery victim was able to identify the suspect from a lineup.

Unlike burglary victims, robbery victims are present during the crime and may face physical danger or trauma.
