Under Florida Penal Code, Robbery is a severe and violent felony punishable by state prison. Use of a gun or other weapon or infliction of Great Bodily Injury during the commission of a Robbery carries a stricter sentence than does simple Robbery. Robbery is different from Burglary or Theft in that Robbery is based upon person to person confrontation, the threat of or use of force along with the intent to coerce and hinder resistance.

In Florida Robbery is divided into First Degree Robbery and Second Degree Robbery. First Degree Robbery occurs in an inhabited dwelling, vessel or trailer. First Degree Robbery also includes robbery of the operator of a bus, taxicab, cable car, or street car. Robbery of a passenger of any vehicle used for transportation for hire and robbery of any person using an Automated Teller Machine (ATM Robbery) are also deemed First Degree Robbery. Second Degree Robbery is all other types of Robbery.
