Résumé
"In 2016, there were over 1.5 million burglaries in the United States, 69.5% of which were residential(FBI, 2017a). Combined, the victims of burglary suffered over $3.6 billion in lost property with anaverage loss of $2,361 per burglary. Looking at national Uniform Crime Report (UCR) clearance data, only 13.1% of burglaries reported to the police in 2016 were cleared (FBI, 2017b). Although burglary rarely generates the headlines and attention of violent crime, the sense of violation and vulnerability common among residential burglary victims is considerable. The impact of residential burglary is experienced more widely than violent crime because there are more victims. The monetary and emotional toll on victims coupled with the low clearance rate make prevention an especially good strategy for residential burglary. Prevention, as noted by Pease and Laycock above, results in fewer victims and thus fewer crimes to be dealt with by the entire criminal justice system."--Page 12.
