There is an almost infinite variety of crimes; there are almost no limits to the classifications and typographies of crime. In fact, each crime is virtually unique, though they share numerous similarities with other crimes. One of the most terrifying and dangerous of crimes that can occur is a home invasion.

A home invasion is when thieves forcibly enter a home while is it occupied to commit robbery and other crimes. It is different from a burglary as these will often intentionally occur when the occupants are out of the house. The burglar is not interested in the occupants and would prefer an empty house. The home invader will often seek to use your fear as a means of gaining financial or personal fulfilment.

The home invader will often work in a team, to increase the fear threshold. They will generally target a specific type of person, for example a single woman, an older couple or someone with an excess of drugs or money. They will use the fear their intrusion creates to gain access to what they want, though also often they are the personality type that enjoys the power inherent in this despicable scenario.

To prevent a home invasion, you should have a security system, well locked doors and windows and adequate security lighting. Always be suspicious of unsolicited tradesmen or others who start to show an interest in your home.
