Each year in Canada residential burglary accounts for the loss of more than 40 million dollars in property and cash. It is a crime which carries high maximum penalties, but it is often not reported to the police, and its perpetrators are seldom caught, prosecuted, or incarcerated. The situation demonstrates the widening gap between public demand for protection and the capacity of traditional law enforcement methods, focusing on deterring or rehabilitating the criminal, to provide it. This study focuses on the crime, its incidence and nature, and its victims, their experiences and reactions to it and their attitudes toward traditional and innovative sentencing practices. The analysis is based on a systematic survey of more than 1,600 households in Toronto, 5,000 police-recorded burglaries, census data, and interviews with convicted burglars.
