Etymology

The term 'jugging' likely originated in the late 20th century, combining elements of robbery and the specific act of following someone to commit a crime. The root 'jug' may have casually referred to the act of seizing or taking, similar to other slang terms that evolve from criminal jargon. As cash transactions became more prevalent, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s, this term began to see increased usage within law enforcement circles and crime reporting. The rise of ATM and bank withdrawals led to a distinct method of targeting unsuspecting individuals, thereby giving this term its specific criminal context. Over the years, as urban crime patterns evolved, jugging has drawn attention from both the media and crime prevention agencies, emphasizing the need for public awareness and safety measures.
