What is a requirement for the crime of robbery?

Robbery is defined as taking property from a person or their immediate presence by means of force or intimidation. A key element of robbery is the requirement of an underlying theft, meaning that there must be an intention to permanently deprive the owner of their property. This is why the option indicating that it requires an underlying theft or unauthorized use of a vehicle is accurate.

In addition to the act of theft, robbery also distinguishes itself from other crimes through the use or threat of force against a victim, which is essential for it to qualify as robbery rather than merely larceny or theft. Therefore, the connection to an underlying theft solidifies the act as robbery, emphasizing the importance of forcibly taking something that belongs to another.

The other choices do not hold up to the legal definition of robbery since robbery can occur at any time (not exclusively at night), does not inherently require multiple victims, and absolutely requires the element of force or intimidation, which makes the assertion that it does not require the use of force incorrect.
