In the 18th century, thefts such as burglary, thefts by servants, and pickpocketing became overwhelmingly more common in big cities. For example, in Paris on the eve of the revolution, they accounted for nearly 90% of all crimes, and contained a crime structure very similar to that of modern society. In 18th century England, France, and Germany, robbers such as Dick Turpin (real name Richard Turpin, 1706-39), Cartouche (real name Louis Dominique, 1693-1721), and Schinderhannes (real name Johann Bückler, 1783-1803) were idealized, and an image similar to that of Robin Hood, the hero of medieval England, emerged among the common people, but they were essentially just a bunch of thieves. The modern age is indeed an age of theft, but Article 382 of the current French penal code states that "When violence is used in the commission of the crime of theft, resulting in injury or bruises to another person, this circumstance warrants a life sentence," and severe sanctions against violent theft have been consistent since ancient Rome. *Some of the terminology that mentions "Bückler, J." is listed below.
