Mugging often involves an attack on a victim walking alone at night. Perpetrators steal money or valuable personal property such as cell phones. Actual or threatened violence is a major aspect of mugging, which often uses weapons such as knives. The level of violence can vary, with some muggings resulting in injury or death. The level of violence and the emotional response contribute to a victim's level of crisis. Victims often face loss of property, injury, or fear, and they may gain psychological trauma. The possibility of such outcomes results in a widespread fear of mugging.
Street robbery usually occurs in urban areas. It is often associated with night, though it frequently occurs at other times of day. Muggers usually work within small, familiar areas, such as the surroundings of their homes. Street robberies occur within a few city blocks of places that are likely to have cash, like stores, bars, illegal businesses, or ATMs. Incidents are often clustered at points within cities such as bus stops. Many incidents occur in places with activity in the night-time economy; such cases frequently involve alcohol intoxication or violence. Street robbers sometimes target other criminals opportunistically; such cases are less commonly reported to police.
About 2% of crimes recorded in England and Wales in the 2000s and 2010s are personal robberies. About one-third of personal robberies in the United Kingdom involve weapons, and about 40% of victims are injured. Most perpetrators in the United Kingdom are groups of young men, and most victims are men. In the country, fear of mugging is more prevalent among people who have been victims of it, as well as people who are women, non-white, lower-income, lower-educated, or unemployed, as of 2019[update].
