Urban development and the consequences for burglary

Abstract

This article sets out a simple predictive model for calculating the incidence of burglary in dwelling houses. The consequences of planned housing development are also estimated. It is argued that existing Home Office crime reduction targets for burglary reduction will be made more difficult to meet as a result of new residential construction.
