Burglar Alarms Decrease Crime
Rutger’s Study Confirms Alarm Systems are Valuable Crime-Fighting Tool
Study Links Burglary Reduction to Increase in Alarm Systems
Winter Haven, Florida March 25th, 2009 – A comprehensive study of five years of statistics by researchers at the Rutgers University School of Criminal Justice (SCJ) in Newark found that residential burglar alarm systems decrease crime. While other studies have concluded that most burglars avoid alarm systems, this is the first study to focus on alarm systems while scientifically ruling out other factors that could have impacted the crime rate.
“Data showed that a steady decrease in burglaries coincided with an increase in the number of registered home burglar alarms,” said study author Dr. Seungmug Lee, who received his doctoral degree from SCJ in 2008 and presently teaches at Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio. “The study credits the alarms with the decrease in burglaries and a city’s overall crime rate.”
In short, the study found that an installed burglar alarm makes a dwelling less attractive to the would-be and active intruders and protects the home without displacing burglaries to nearby homes.
“This is the most comprehensive study of its kind that has ever been conducted,” said Dr. Lee. “By utilizing sophisticated in-depth research techniques, we were able to eliminate the variables that impact crime rates and focus directly on the impact alarm systems have on residential burglaries.”
The study noted that “technology innovations” have increased the availability of home security systems to middle-class homeowners and that technology has made the systems more dependable. “Computers, printed circuits, digital communicators, and microprocessors have refined monitoring and signaling technology, and modern electronic sensors now include ultrasonic, infrared and microwave devices which were formerly available only in more sophisticated commercial and industrial applications,” said Dr. Lee.
The study was funded by AIREF, the Alarm Industry Research & Educational Foundation, a tax-exempt foundation representing the electronic, life safety, security and systems industry and their associations, under the auspices of the National Burglar & Fire Alarm Association (NBFAA).
