Answer to Question 1

Answer: Most residential burglars have potential targets in mind before committing their offenses. There are several ways burglars select a target. Often a burglar selects as targets residences of individuals that are known to them (although usually not those owned by close friends or family). Burglars generally only target residences of friends and loved ones if they feel vengeful towards that person or if they are in especially desperate need of money. Burglars may also select targets based on information from tipsters, who pass on information in exchange for a fee or cut of the take. Tipsters may be service workers who are familiar with household routines and possessions. Finally, burglars may select targets based on observation of a potential target.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: According to the FBI, the four major property crimes are burglary, larceny-theft, motor-vehicle theft, and arson. Burglary is defined as the unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or a theft. Larceny-theft is the unlawful taking, carrying, leading, or riding away of property, other than a motor vehicle, from the possession of another. Motor vehicle theft is the theft or attempted theft of a motor vehicle. Arson is the willful or malicious burning or attempt to burn, with or without intent to defraud, of a house, public building, motor vehicle or aircraft, or personal property of another
