Socio-economic causes
Although there is no real scientific consensus with respect to the causal relationship between the socio-economic background and property crime like breaking and entering, Australian research for example shows that long term unemployment amongst young male adolescents has a substantial effect on property crime rates[1].
Enthorf and Spengler(2002)[2] find that planning-intense offences like breaking and entering, robbery and violent respond relatively slow to changes in the socio-economic conditions compared to other types of crime like drug and alcohol abuse and violent crime. According to the authors, this may reflect that in a first response to unfortunate social and economic developments some of the affected might be attracted to alcohol and drug abuse, which in a later phase has to financed with criminal activities by committing property crimes like breaking and entering.
