Preventive Measures Urged
The FBI announced that, over a
10-year period, an average of one
of every four residences through
out the Nation is likely to be
burglarized, according to recent
ly tabulated Uniform Crime
Reporting probability figures. The
data, based on the current resi
dential burglary experience, show
the chance is even greater over
longer timeframes. For a 30-year
period, the burglary probability
exceeds an average of one of
every two households.
The Nation’s households have
lost an estimated $13 billion to
burglars during the 1980’s.
Residential burglaries reported to
law enforcement totaled more
than 13 million from 1980 to 1985,
or 27 burglaries annually for
every 1,000 households.
Data concerning those offenses
for which time of entry is known
show more residential burglaries
occur during the daylight hours
than at night, and the average loss

per break-in is higher for daytime
occurrences. Household burglar
ies result in greater average
losses than those against non
residential property such as com
mercial and industrial buildings.
Something can be done about
this offense. The FBI said collec
tive crime prevention efforts by
citizens and law enforcement can
make a difference. Crime preven
tion programs conducted by
citizens’ groups, such as Crime
Stoppers and Neighborhood
Watch programs, have been de
veloped throughout the country
and have been shown to be effec
tive in helping to reduce vulnera
bility to crimes such as residential
burglaries.
Crime preventive measures are
often simply a matter of common
sense. For example, giving a
residence an “occupied-at-the
moment” look while the home
owner is away, and properly
securing all doors.
