Home Invasion: Robbers disclose what you should know - Zinn

2010 paperback with 188 pages in good condition. R50 postage in SA.

Over 18 000 house robberies are committed in South Africa every year and police attempts to stop it have had little effect. In 2006/7 Rudolph Zinn interviewed a group of convicted house robbers in jail. He found that the average house robber is in his 20s, a young man who is nevertheless 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.
