Therefore, in the first chapter of the work the development of Lithuanian legal acts, regulating extortion of property and robbery, is reviewed, also the conception of these crimes and relations with the other criminal offences are analysed. In the second chapter of the work, applying the literature on criminal law, materials from criminal cases and legal acts of Republic of Lithuania and foreign countries, the elements of extortion of property and robbery are researched in order to find out the similarities and differences between these crimes.
