Perhaps, but probably not. FBI statistics have shown that victims who resist are less likely to be injured than those who comply. The best self defense, according to statistics, is to resist with a firearm.
I heard a news story this morning that drove this point home. A man was stabbed with a steak knife and robbed. There was no logical reason for the criminal to escalate to felony assault or possible murder charges for a wallet.
Unless you have a degree in criminal psychology (even if you do) don't try to get inside a criminal's head and predict their actions ( or expect them to be logical). Comply if you think that will be the end of it, but always be prepared to resist at the first sign the criminal is going to hurt you. Stay safe.
