处罚
The charge of aggravated robbery is perceived as a very serious offence which attracts significant penalties as a result. Section 95 of the Crimes Act 1900 states that the maximum penalty for aggravated robbery is imprisonment of 20 years. While the Crimes Statistic Australia revealed that 72% of robbery charges result result in a full time custodial sentence, and therefore a prison term is likely, it is important to understand that the maximum penalty is typically reserved for serial offenders or those with a lengthy criminal history.
However, the Court also has the power to enforce other penalties upon consideration of personal circumstances and the nature of the offence. These penalties may include intensive correction orders (ICOs), home detention, community service orders (CSOs), good behaviour bonds, a monetary fine or a suspended sentence. more accurate advice on the penalties relating your specific cases.
有罪
In order to be found guilty of charges relating to aggravated robbery, the Police must prove that you did commit the crime as per section 95 of the Crimes Act 1900. Therefore, in order to be found guilty, the Police must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that:
- You with the intent to steal;
- Took property;
- From the victim’s immediate control or presence;
- By the use of violence or by putting the victim in fear;
- In circumstances of aggravation immediately before, at the time of or immediately after the assault.
