    Repeat burglary numbers may be higher than we think

    Repeat burglary numbers may be higher than we think


    Ministry of Justice numbers show repeat burglary numbers jumped from 40 percent to 63 percent in 2020-2021.

    Institute of Criminology Senior Lecturer Trevor Bradley says properties in deprived areas are less likely to report it to police.

    He says those most socio-economically vulnerable are more often victimised but don't get counted.
