Description
Summary:Traditional methods of studying burglary have typically utilised thematic analysis, which has yielded insights into how burglars commit their crimes. This study extended those advances by combining a thematic analysis with statistical methods. Furthermore, most research has been carried out on apprehended offenders, while this has provided a rich and fertile source of data. However, given that the majority of burglaries go undetected, there is a genuine possibility that non-apprehended burglars are responsible for at least some of these offences and that they may have a different approach to offending than apprehended offenders. Thus, this study investigates whether there are crime scene behavioural differences between apprehended and non-apprehended burglars.
