:''Not to be confused with the a car jack, a device for lifting up the body of the vehicle.''
Carjacking is a robbery (i.e., a theft by force, violence, or intimidation) in which the item stolen is a motor vehicle.〔Michael Cherbonneau, "Carjacking," in ''Encyclopedia of Social Problems'', Vol. 1 (SAGE, 2008: ed. Vincent N. Parrillo), pp. 110-11.〕
==Etymology==
The word is a portmanteau of car and hijacking. The term was coined by reporter Scott Bowles and EJ Mitchell, an editor with ''The Detroit News''.〔Pulitzer, Lisa Beth. Crime On Deadline. New York, New York: Boulevard Books, 1996〕 ''The News'' first used the term in a 1991 report on the murder of Ruth Wahl, a 22-year-old Detroit drugstore cashier who was killed when she would not surrender her Suzuki Sidekick, and in an investigative report examining the rash of what police called at the time "robbery armed unlawful driving away an automobile" plaguing Detroit.〔''The Detroit News'', August 28, 1991〕
