Combating Burglary: An Evaluation of Three Strategies

Burglary of Domestic Dwellings: Findings from the British Crime Survey
Domestic burglary is relatively common in England and Wales compared with other industrialised countries. The International Crime Victimisation Survey has shown that the risk of burglary is higher in England and Wales than in the ten other countries included in the survey (Mayhew and White, 1997). To address this problem, the Home Office Crime Reduction Programme includes a three-year initiative to reduce burglary victimisation. The initiative will target high-risk communities and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of burglary reduction projects.
