Over 18 000 house robberies are committed in South Africa every year. Police attempts to clamp down on this crime have had little effect.
Former detective Rudolph Zinn undertook his PhD research on house robbers, interviewing convicted house robbers serving their sentences. He found that the average house robber is in his twenties, but already a very experienced criminal who has committed over 100 crimes by the time he is arrested. He plans his robbery in advance, after first obtaining inside information about the house and its residents. He often uses extreme violence, and will harm his victims if they put the robbery at risk.
This book makes valuable recommendation to police and security risk experts. It also contains crucial advice - both from former house robbers and the author - on how ordinary citizens can safeguard their homes, and how to minimise danger if attacked.
This book is as good as new.
