Home burglaries: Rome and Milan the most affected cities

Taking something of value directly from someone is a very stressful experience especially when it is from your own house. The first reaction is a feeling of anger, helplessness, and fear. Houses should be a place of safety and protection, and thinking about yourself as a stranger within your walls because outsiders invaded and violated your privacy, may lead to anxiety and you might think that it could happen again.

Although Apartment burglaries have declined recently – one of the few benefits of the pandemic – the number of complaints related to this crime is still  very high. In fact, according to the 2019 ISTAT report (the most recent in this regard), apartment thefts reached an average of 10.3 per thousand families, for a total of 165,329 during the year.

Apartment robberies are frequent in the North and Center of Italy, where there are 11.8 families victims per thousand, compared to 6.9 per thousand families victims in the South.
