Explanation: The ranking for robbery is based on the most improved precinct to the least improved precinct. (the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting defines a robbery as the taking or attempted taking of anything of value from the care, custody, or control of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear).
