| Both crime of robbery and that of blackmail take the form of the use of violen ce or the threat of violence. The most essential difference is not the "two spot", but the extent where violence and threat present. When violence and threat are enorm ous enough to suppress the victim’s resistance, it is regarded as the crime of robber y even if it doesn’t meet the "two spot"; when violence and threat are slight enoug h, it should be regarded as the crime of blackmail even if it meets the "two spot". Whether they reach the extent that they are sufficient enough to suppress the victi m’s resistance are based on the influence of violence and threat on ordinary people and make a synthetic judgment in accordance with specific conditions. |
