The main focus of the present research was to examine the link between relative
deprivation and crime of robbery. Data have been extracted from the first author’s
research. A survey was carried out from a sample of 172 convicted robbers from
three Jails (Multan, Bahawalpur, Dera Ghazi Khan) of the Southern Punjab,
Pakistan. Semi-structured interview schedule was used to collect information from
the study population. Age, family system, monthly household income and marital
status of the inmates were significantly related with robbery perpetration. The
results indicated an association between relative deprivation and crime of
robbery. Relative deprivation approach to poverty was linked with robbery. Lack
of material resources to satisfy daily consumer basket, health care needs, housing
and utility facilities were significantly associated with robbery.
