Abstract
Theft involving violence is a street crime and had threatened public safety and security. The society no longer can live in decent way. Aside from the layer of indicators that challenge the law enforcement to differ whether the case was theft involving violence or just theft and violence in separate ways, in Indonesia, the number of this type of crime escalated from 2014 to2015 and to 2016. Though law enforcement did their duty to resolve this matter, the number of crime yet decrease. This paper presents a preliminary research on how to build effective crime deterrence of theft involving violence.
