Correctly identify the crime of extortion as follows:
(a) The boundary between completed crime and attempted crime
The perpetrator illegally extorts other people's property by threats or coercion, which constitutes the accomplished crime of extortion. If the perpetrator only used threats or intimidation, the victim did not feel fear, so he did not hand over his property; Or the victim is afraid, but he doesn't hand over his property, which is an attempted extortion.
(2) The boundary between this crime and robbery.
Literally speaking, threats are not only one of the means of robbery, but also the basic behavior of extortion. However, the specific connotation of its threat is different:
(1) From the perspective of threat, the threat of robbery was issued directly in front of the victim; Blackmail threats can be made in person, or conveyed by letter, telephone or a third party.
(2) The threat of robbery is manifested as the threat of realizing the content of the threat on the spot without handing over the property; The threat of extortion generally shows that if the requirements are not met, the content of the threat will be realized at some time in the future.
(3) From the content of the threat, the threat of robbery is the threat of personal injury such as murder and injury; The threat of extortion is broader, including personal injury or damage to property and reputation.
(4) The crime of robbery is to obtain property on the spot by threatening means from the time when the property is illegally obtained; Blackmail can be obtained on the spot or afterwards. It can be seen that the threats in these two crimes are both different and related. If the facts of the case meet the above characteristics of robbery threat, it shall be punished as robbery. If one of them does not meet the requirements, it shall be punished as extortion.
The crime of extortion refers to the act of threatening the victim with violence or other coercive means for the purpose of illegal possession, and the amount of extortion is relatively large.
