Looting
Looting, also referred to as
sacking,
ransacking,
plundering,
despoiling,
despoliation, and
pillaging, is the indiscriminate taking of goods by force as part of a military or political victory, or during a catastrophe, such as
war,
natural disaster, or
rioting. The term is also used in a broader sense to describe egregious instances of
theft and
embezzlement, such as the "plundering" of private or public assets by governments. Looting is loosely distinguished from
scavenging in terms of objects taken: scavenging implies taking of essential items such as food, water, shelter, or other material needed for survival while looting implies items not necessary for survival such as
luxury goods,
art work,
precious metals or other assorted items of value to the looters. The proceeds of all these activities can be described as
loot,
plunder,
spoils, or
pillage.
