入室盗窃是美国和其他国家最普遍的街头犯罪之一。在美国，入室盗窃率在1960年代从每10万人508.6起急剧上升，1975年后下降，并稳定在1984年每10万人1263.7起的水平。盗窃率在东北部不成比例地低，而在西部和城市，特别是那些少数民族人口众多，人口流动性高和收入不平等程度高的城市。它发生在主要由年轻人，少数民族和租房者居住的社区。入室盗窃是不成比例地犯下的男性，青少年，和其他谁是不熟练的罪犯在或接近他们的家园。一小群窃贼在广阔的领土上活动，经常寻找合适的目标。虽然大多数受害者遭受的经济损失不大，但犯罪对一些人，特别是独居妇女产生了严重的心理影响。针对入室盗窃的一般预防方案取得了不确定的成功。邻里守望和目标强化战略的经验表明，更有重点的情景预防犯罪战略非常重要。
Burglary is one of the most prevalent street crimes in the United States as well as in other countries. In the United States, the rate of burglary increased dramatically during the 1960s from 508.6 per 100,000 population before declining after 1975 and stabilizing near the 1984 rate of 1,263.7 per 100,000 population. Burglary rates are disproportionately low in the Northeast and high in the West and in cities, particularly those with large minority populations, high population mobility, and high income inequality. It occurs disproportionately in neighborhoods inhabited primarily by the young, minorities, and renters. Burglary is committed disproportionately by males, juveniles, and others who are unskilled offenders in or close to their home neighborhoods. A small group of burglars ranges over a wide territory, often searching out suitable targets. Although most victims sustain modest economic losses, the crime has serious psychological effects on some, particularly women who reside alone. General prevention programs aimed at burglary have met with uncertain success. Experience with neighborhood watch and target-hardening strategies points to the importance of better focused situational crime-prevention strategies.
