Burglary Other Than Dwelling (BOTD), which includes BOTD With Intent, and
Aggravated Burglary in a Building, as well as BOTD
1.1.1 Volume and trends
Table 9 gives the numbers of burglary dwelling and BOTD in Broadland for each year, and
percentage change year-on-year.

There was a substantial rise in numbers in 2002-3. Estimated inflation due to NCRS
accounts for only a proportion of this increase. However, there was a substantial decrease
in numbers in 2003-4. Between the time of the last audit (2000-1) and the current audit
(2003-4), there has been a very marginal increase in burglary of 0.6%.

The Broadland rate for burglary other than dwelling, as with burglary in a dwelling, is lower
than the available benchmarks. However, the rates for Broadland, Norfolk and Eastern in
the case of burglary other than dwelling are closer to the national average than in the case
of burglary in a dwelling.

1.1.3 Artifice burglary
There were 6 burglaries of all types in Broadland in 2000-1 where method of entry is
recorded as ‘trick’, 7 in 2001-2, 10 in 2002-3 and 8 in 2003-4 [Source: NC1].

Incidence (rate) per 1000 population1.1.4 Cost
For all crimes of burglary dwelling in Broadland in 2003-4, the total value recorded by the
police is £286,033. The field has been completed in 167 cases (81.9% of records), though
in 45 cases, a value of zero is recorded. For all crimes of burglary other than dwelling, the
total recorded value is £422,774. The field has been completed in 446 cases (88.3% of
cases), but the value given is zero in 172 cases [Source: NC1]. The combined total value
for both classes of burglary according to police records is £708,807.
The total cost to society of burglary in Broadland in 2003-4 may be estimated using
findings and methodology from Home Office Research Study 217, as shown in Table 10.
Average unit costs are quoted separately for burglary dwelling and burglary other than
dwelling.
Curiously, in HORS 217, burglary other than dwelling is characterised as a crime
exclusively against the commercial and public sector. In fact, in Broadland in 2003-4, 43%
of instances of burglary other than dwelling occurred in a residential domestic setting (see
Section 3.3.1 above). Moreover, there were 342 instances of a personal victim of a crime
of burglary other than dwelling compared to 178 instances of a corporate victim.
Nevertheless, the estimated unit cost and multiplier given in HORS 217 for burglary other
than dwelling have been used in Table 10, since the study’s definition of this offence type
in terms of notifiable offence codes applies to individual and corporate victims alike.

Table 2 Estimated cost to society of burglary in Broadland in 2003-4
[Sources: NC1, HO7]
The true costs of all burglary suggested by this analysis, £4.4m, are substantially greater
than costs recorded by the police.
1.1.5 Target set in 2002-5 Strategy
The target set for residential crime reduction by the Broadland 2002-5 Strategy was as
follows:
The targets will take into account the BPVI 126 to reduce the number of domestic burglaries per
1000 households by 25% by 2005.
To the extent that numbers of domestic burglaries have reduced from 288 in 2001-2 to 205
in 2003-4, a fall of 29%, Broadland appears to be likely to meet its target for residential
crime reduction for 2005.
In January 2004, Broadland CDRP reset the baseline for the targets set out in the 2002-5
Strategy to 2002-3. By this measure, the target for residential crime reduction appears
CDRP Analyst, Eastern, April 2005 5likely to be met, since domestic burglary decreased by 37.5% between 2002-3 and 2003-
4.
1.1.6 Ward analysis – burglary dwelling
Map 3 gives a quintile mapping of burglary dwelling by ward. The ward count across the
whole of Broadland is low. The highest levels are found in some areas around the fringes
of Norwich - generally on or adjacent to the road arteries radiating from the city, noticeably
to the East of the city in areas adjoining the A47.
