HOME SECURITY
OVERVIEW
Home Defense
Home Security: for the first time anywhere, all home invasions are simply classified into five types so you can easily understand home defense. Poor home defense leads to more than 8,000 home intrusions every day either by sneakily quiet burglars or violently loud invaders. The U.S. Department of Justice says up to 30 percent of all homes will be burgled or invaded at least once in the next 20 years. Maybe that's an overestimate but even half that number should concern you. Yet most people are careless with home defense both in their behavior and in fortifying their homes with hardware and electronics. They rely on sheer luck that their lazy habits and flimsy hardware will protect them. Hey, its a safe neighborhood. Nothing has ever happened around here. Yet. For the first time in his life, Harold Preston is locking his doors at night. He's just learned that one of his neighbours, a 77-year-old widow who lives alone, was severely beaten when someone forced their way inside. ... Neighbours reacted with surprise: "That's something that happened right under our nose." "I can't believe it happened." "Nothing ever happens here." "Things like that happen in big cities, not here."
Excerpted from The Ottawa Citizen 06 July 2007 Burglars usually avoid occupied homes but the growing numbers of invaders actually want you at home so they can get your wallet, car keys, and hidden caches making home invasions more lucrative than street robberies and more violent. These vicious robbers, rapists, and killers, knowing that the home itself hides the crime from neighbors and passersby, often become frenzied with power, terrorizing, raping, torturing. The victims never fully recover. However, home burglaries and invasions are the most preventable of all crimes. For the first time, Crime-Safety-Security.com handily classifies all home intrusions into five types to help you truly understand home security. To add to the familiar police terms of Break-In, Walk-In, and Push-In, Ive created two new categories: Scam-In and Mug-In as shown below:
