Burglars

Being a professional burglar is a lucrative yet extremely tough job. Neil Shover explains that a burglar must have four attributes to turn a profit from stealing from houses. The burglar must have many skills to commit break and enters; be able to gain entry into property, choose valuable items with high resale value, and opening safes without damaging the contents inside. A good burglar must be able to team up and form a trustworthy criminal gang to help with the jobs. They must have inside information, a burglar wouldn't want to steal from a house that has low priced valuables. The burglar must also have access to someone who will buy or sell their stolen goods for them.

A professional burglar is someone who is fully sustained off of stealing and burglarizing houses and business property. These people plan there attacks and are not fooling around. Their number one goal is to steal the most expensive pieces of your property as fast as possible without you knowing who or when it happened. A burglar may try to hit the same residence or business more than once, as they have already had previous experience and feel like they know what to expect when they enter. A burglar will gain knowledge and valuable experience from other burglars or from simply breaking and entering and building up experience over time.

Some burglars like to burglarize commercial property rather than houses as they "feel better" stealing from a profitable business rather than a family.

Auto Theft

Car theft is a worldwide problem, however in Canada the auto theft rate is among the highest in the world. Vehicles are stolen for parts, to export, or just for the general opportunity. An efficient auto theft organization can have a car stripped down to bits in a matter of hours. According to Stats Canada, on average 254 cars were stolen per day in Canada. ICBC estimates that car theft cost Canadians $1.2 Billion a year in out of pocket expenses.

People steal cars for a number of reasons, parts, trade, or even to drive around themselves. Stripping down a car for parts can bring thieves big bucks. The big ticket items are the on board electronics, air bags and engine components. Thieves also steal cars for drive-by shootings and for joy-riding.

Where is your car most likely to be stolen? Stats Canada reports that Regina, SK. is the leading city for auto theft in Canada. Next on the list, Abbotsford, Winnipeg and Kelowna. Automobiles are being stolen from large cities not from small towns.

The type of car doesn't always matter to thieves but rather the availability. The most stolen car in Canada in 2010 was the Toyota Venza. The Honda Civic was number 2 on the list followed by the Ford F350, Cadillac Escalade and the Chevrolet Trail-Blazer.

I think the most obvious way to deter your car from being stole would be to lock it. Duh! Locking your car will often deter thieves to other vehicles. Always roll up your windows and close your sunroof when leaving your vehicle unattended. Do not leave valuables in clear sight and make sure to park in a well lit, busy area.

Hyper-Masculine

Men since day one are riddled with phrases like "you gotta be tough", "don't be a sissy" and so on. Men are often becoming hyper-masculine and this is leading to sexual assault. Men are often told to be tough and not show emotion. Trying to always hold in someones emotions could cause someone to snap or lash out in a criminal manner. Many men however sexually assault women to try and prove their dominance to their peers. Men are socialized to be aggressive and sleep with many women, this is a recipe for disaster. Men are now more likely to sexually assault a women.

With date rape drugs more readily available to the general public, men are using them to assault intoxicated women.
