What is burglary? Burglary in the United States is considered a felony or misdemeanor. It includes trespassing and theft, and going inside a building or car with the intent to commit any crime. Even if the crime is not necessarily theft, it is still illegal. Some states consider burglary committed during the day as housebreaking, not burglary. The Bureau of Justice Statistics defines it as unlawful or forcible entry into a building. There are four types of burglary in total: completed burglary, forcible entry, unlawful entry, and attempted forcible entry. Burglary in the United States Burglary affects all 50 states in the United States, as burglary was the third most common type of property crime in the United States in 2023. California had the highest number of reported burglaries in that same year, whereas New Hampshire had the lowest number. However, the overall reported burglary rate in the United States has decreased significantly since 1990.
In 2022, Costa Rica had the highest burglary rate worldwide, with ***** occurrences per 100,000 inhabitants. Other countries with the highest burglary rate were Sweden, Luxembourg and Dominica.

The User Guide to Home Office Crime Statistics is designed to be a useful reference guide with explanatory notes regarding the issues and classifications which are key to the production and presentation of the crime statistics.
Following the transfer of responsibility for the publication of crime statistics to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) from 1 April 2012, a new reference guide is available within the Guidance and Methodology section on the Office for National Statistics Crime in England and Wales) website.
This dataset was compiled by the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) at the request of the Governor’s Children’s Cabinet. This data contains the population of youth ages 13-26 in each county, the total population of each county, and the number and rate of index crimes reported, with domestic violence offenses and rates reported separately for every year between 2006 and 2015.
For the purpose of this analysis the crime data was gathered from the Illinois State Police Annual report Crime in Illinois. This publication is produced by the Illinois State Police every year using the UCR data that is submitted to them by individual jurisdictions throughout the state. The accuracy of this data presented is dependent on the local jurisdictions reporting their index crime and domestic violence offenses to ISP, so it can be included in the annual report.
Therefore, if there is large decrease in number of index crimes reported in the dataset it is likely that one or more jurisdictions did not report data for that year to ISP. If there is a large increase from year to year within a county it is likely that a jurisdiction within the county, who previously had not reported crime data, did report crime data for that year. If there is no reported crime in a certain year that means no jurisdictions, or a small jurisdiction with no crime from that county reported data to the Illinois State Police. The annual Crime in Illinois reports can be found on the ISP website www.isp.state.il.us.
A direct link to that annual reports is: http://www.isp.state.il.us/crime/ucrhome.cfm#anlrpts.
The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority did not record the data that is expressed in the dataset. ICJIA simply used the ISP reports to compile that yearly crime data into one chart that could be provided to the Illinois Governor’s Children’s Cabinet. This data set has be critically examined to be accurate according to the annual Crime in Illinois Reports. If there are issues with the data set provided please contact the Illinois State Police or the individual jurisdictions within a specific county.
**Index offenses do not include every crime event that occurs. Prior to 2014 there were 8 index crimes reported by the Illinois State Police in their annual reports, Criminal Homicide, Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Battery/Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Theft, Motor Vehicle Theft, and Arson. In 2014 there were two new offenses added to the list of index crimes these were Human Trafficking – Commercial Sex Acts and Human Trafficking – Involuntary Servitude. These are the index crimes that are recorded in the chart provided.
**“Domestic offenses are defined as offenses committed between family or household members. Family or household members include spouses; former spouses; parents; children; foster parents; foster children; legal guardians and their wards; stepchildren; other persons related by blood (aunt, uncle, cousin) or by present or previous marriage (in-laws); persons who share, or formerly shared, a common dwelling; persons who have, or allegedly have, a child in common; persons who share, or allegedly share, a blood relationship through a child; persons who have, or have had, a dating or engagement relationship; and persons with disabilities, their personal care assistants, or care givers outside the context of an employee of a public or private care facility. Every offense that occurs, when a domestic relationship exists between the victim and offender, must be reported (Illinois State Police).”
**“Offenses reported are not limited to domestic battery and violations of orders of protection; offenses most commonly associated with domestic violence (Illinois State Police).”
The crime rate was compiled using the total population, and the index crime. The Index crime whether all crime or Domestic Violence crime was divided by the total population then multiplied by 10,000, hence crime rate per 10,000.
The sources of data are the Illinois Uniform Crime Reporting Program and the U.S. Census Bureau.

Suburb-based crime statistics for crimes against the person and crimes against property. The Crime statistics datasets contain all offences against the person and property that were reported to police in that respective financial year. The Family and Domestic Abuse-related offences datasets are a subset of this, in that a separate file is presented for these offences that were flagged as being of a family and domestic abuse nature for that financial year. Consequently the two files for the same financial year must not be added together.
This is the tenth report in an annual series combining crimes recorded by the police and interviews from the British Crime Survey (BCS) for the financial year 2010/11. Each source has different strengths and weaknesses but together they provide a more comprehensive picture of crime than could be obtained from either series alone. Additional explanatory notes are available in the User Guide to Home Office Crime Statistics.

This 2023 crime data is a list of Part 2 Offenses reported to the Syracuse Police Department (SPD), that were reported to have occurred in 2022. These records do not include rape offenses or any crimes that have been sealed by the court. These records are derived from the records management system utilized by the SPD. The data is then anonymized by SPD Crime Analysts weekly. After this data is received weekly from the SPD, this data is then mapped to the approximate location of that incident, using the 100 block level and a Geolocator File from Onondaga County GIS Department. This data is then updated on the Open Data Portal. The points should not be construed to be the exact point this incidents were reported to occur, rather the block where these incident is reported to occur.Crimes are reported to the FBI in two major categories under the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) specification: Part 1 and Part 2 crimes. Part 1 crimes include criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. In SPD records, rape offenses have been excluded due to victim privacy concerns. Part 2 crimes include all other offenses. A detailed list of Part 2 crimes is listed below. When using the data, the date and time provided are when the crime was actually reported. This means that though a larceny might b e reported at noon, the actual crime could have happened at 8am, but was not realized until someone noticed hours later. Similarly, if a home break-in happens during a holiday weekend when the owners are out of town, the crime report may not come in until they return home and notice the crime took place previously. The address in the dataset is where the crime occurred. The location is also anonymized to the block level, so a crime that occurred at 123 Main St. will appear as occurring on the 100 block of Main St. This is to protect the privacy of all involved. Finally, information about crimes is fluid, and details about the crime could change.Data DictionaryDate End - Date that the crime was reported. It could have happened earlier. This is in the format of DD-MON-YY (Ex. 01-Jan-22).Time start and time end - Listed in military time (2400) - Burglaries and larcenies are often a time frame. Address - Where the crime occurred.

The dataset contains a subset of locations and attributes of incidents reported in the ASAP (Analytical Services Application) crime report database by the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). Visit crimecards.dc.gov for more information. This data is shared via an automated process where addresses are geocoded to the District's Master Address Repository and assigned to the appropriate street block. Block locations for some crime points could not be automatically assigned resulting in 0,0 for x,y coordinates. These can be interactively assigned using the MAR Geocoder.On February 1 2020, the methodology of geography assignments of crime data was modified to increase accuracy. From January 1 2020 going forward, all crime data will have Ward, ANC, SMD, BID, Neighborhood Cluster, Voting Precinct, Block Group and Census Tract values calculated prior to, rather than after, anonymization to the block level. This change impacts approximately one percent of Ward assignments.

*This dataset is updated nightly. Crime data represents the initial information that is provided by individuals calling for police assistance. Please note that the dataset only contains the last 5 years. Remaining information is often amended for accuracy after an Officer arrives and investigates the reported incident. Most often, the changes are made to more accurately reflect the official legal definition of the crimes reported. An example of this is for someone to report that they have been "robbed," when their home was broken into while they were away. The official definition of "robbery" is to take something by force. An unoccupied home being broken into, is actually defined as a "burglary," or a "breaking and entering." While there are mechanisms in place to make each initial call as accurate as possible, some events require evaluation upon arrival. Caution should be used when making assumptions based solely on the data provided, as they may not represent the official crime reports.
In 2023, the number of incidents of breaking and entering in Canada decreased by 2,563 incidents (-1.92 percent) since 2022.
