I believe the answer is:

dobermann

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what kind of beast would' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'abuse and rob men?' is the wordplay.
'abuse' is an anagram indicator.
'and'+'rob'+'men'='androbmen'
'androbmen' with letters rearranged gives 'DOBERMANN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dobermann that I've seen before include "Breed of dog" , "Dog breeder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
