Property crime involves theft of money or property without force against a victim. Common types are burglary, larceny, theft, arson, shoplifting, and vandalism. Property crime can have emotional, financial, and security impacts on victims through replacing stolen or damaged items, insurance costs, and installing security systems. Statistics show that males aged 16 to 24 and those in deprived areas are most at risk, with 65% of crimes occurring near the home and the offender known to the victim in a third of cases. Property crime also affects communities by decreasing safety and property prices if incidents increase frequently in an area.
