Crime Statistics and What They Mean to You

The criminal landscape is always changing. Sometimes crime statistics go up; other times they do down. One thing is consistent, however: uncertainty. There’s no way to tell what a given year will bring for crime statistics in the U.S. or your community. ADT monitors crime statistics and stays on top of the latest developments.

The FBI releases an annual analysis called the Uniform Crime Report. It details the past year’s crime statistics. According to the 2010 UCR, a burglary occurs in the U.S. every 14.6 seconds.

More crime statistics:

• A robbery occurs every 1.4 minutes.
• 85% of break-ins occur through a primary door (only 15% through windows).
• Most burglaries occur between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
• Most burglars spend just 8-12 minutes in the home they’re robbing.
