Victim Profile: Victims
BCS 2000 (http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/bcs1.html)
sets out the households most at risk of vehicle-related theft. These
are:
- young households (those in which the head of household is aged
16-24)
- those in areas of high physical disorder (i.e. high levels of
vandalism, graffiti, litter and deliberate damage to property)
- those in which the head of household is unemployed
- those occupied by private renters
Higher income households are more at risk of thefts from vehicles
and attempted thefts than lower income households, but less likely
to have their vehicles stolen.
