Abstract
Armed robbery of commercial premises has undergone substantial changes in target selection and modus operandi in Australia over the past two decades. This chapter provides an overview of the changing nature of armed robbery, focussing in particular on target selection, weapon use, and offence characteristics. In addition, drawing on the findings from interviews with 14 incarcerated armed robbers in Australia, the chapter provides rare insights from the offender perspective on how and why this crime type has dramatically shifted in profile in recent years.
