What is "carjacking"?

Carjacking is when someone steals a car by force, often using threats or violence against the driver. The thief may demand that the driver get out of the car or may take control of the vehicle while the driver is inside. This crime typically happens quickly and can be very dangerous for the person whose car is being stolen. Carjackers often target individuals in less busy areas or at times when there are fewer people around. It is a dangerous and serious crime, and those involved may face severe legal consequences if caught.
