The F.B.I. report “2008 Crime in the United States” reveals that crime in America has steadily been decreasing across all categories except one: burglary. ”Nationwide, burglaries were the only property crime to show an increase (up 1.3 percent)”

The “2006 Crime in the United States” report defines burglary as the unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or theft.  To classify an offense as a burglary, the use of force to gain entry need not have occurred.  The Program has three subclassifications for burglary:  forcible entry, unlawful entry where no force is used, and attempted forcible entry.  The UCR definition of “structure” includes, for example, apartment, barn, house trailer or houseboat when used as a permanent dwelling, office, railroad car (but not automobile), stable, and vessel (i.e., ship).

Overview

• In 2006, there were an estimated 2,183,746 burglary offenses-an increase of 1.3 percent when compared with 2005 data.
• An examination of 5- and 10-year trends revealed an increase of 1.5 percent in the number of burglaries when compared with the 2002 estimate and a decline of 11.2 percent when compared with the 1997 estimate. 
• Burglary accounted for 21.9 percent of the estimated number of property crimes committed in 2006.  
• In 2006, burglary offenses cost victims an estimated $4 billion in lost property. 
• The average dollar loss per burglary offense in 2006 was $1,834.
• Of the burglary offenses in 2006, 66.2 percent were of residential structures. 
• Of the burglaries for which the time of occurrence was known, 63.1 percent of residential burglaries took place during the day.
• Among burglaries of nonresidential structures when time of occurrence was known, 56.7 percent occurred at night.

Another interesting statistic was reported in the New York Times on 8/27/07 in a story entitled “Cellphone-Only Homes Hit a Milestone” by Alex Mindlin:

“From September 2006 to April 2007, the percentage of Americans in cellphone-only households for the first time overtook the percentage in landline-only households, according to Mediamark Research, a firm that has been tracking such data since the mid-1980s. Mediamark said 84.5 percent of households now have landlines, and 86.2 percent have at least one cellphone. Andy Arthur, the study’s author and an analyst with Mediamark, said the number of households with landlines would probably continue to decrease.”  In another Times article ["Snip!Nearly One-Fifth of Homes Have no Landline" 9/17/08,Saul Hansell] it’s reported that by the end of 2008 20percent of households may not have a home phone line. This is estimated to rise to 27percent by 2010.

Burglar Alarm Systems are the best way of preventing burglaries and protecting your family and property and are a proven deterrent. Statistics show that 60% of attempted burglaries carried out on homes with burglar alarms fitted are unsuccessful. Burglar alarms are valuable weapons in the fight against crime.

Burglar alarm systems that incorporate home monitoring are most effective since they not only scare burglars off but call out for help as well. This type of comprehensive system generally relies on landline phones for support. The steady decrease in the number of households with landlines implies that an increasing number of homes are deprived of the potential benefits of comprehensive burglar alarm protection. This trend has given rise to the development of Wireless GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) Alarm Systems. Modern Wireless GSM Alarm Systems offer comprehensive and expandable burglar protection without the necessity of a landline; with the use of a SIM card from a cellular carrier they allow your burglar alarm to call out for help through the cellular networks.

In Conclusion, for an increasing majority of households who now exclusively use cellphones, comprehensive burglar deterrence is now available with Wireless GSM Alarm Systems.
