Burglary
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what estimate he has made of the proportion of distraction burglaries that are reported to the police; and what proportion of reported distraction burglaries resulted in a conviction in the last period for which figures are available.
- Answer
-
Figures are not available on the proportion of distraction burglaries reported to the police. However, research suggests that distraction burglaries are under reported for many reasons including embarrassment and fear, and police and partners are engaged in a range of initiatives to encourage greater reporting.11,552 distraction burglaries were recorded by the police in England and Wales in 2005-06. The subset of domestic burglary convictions that were a result of distraction burglary is not available centrally.
