Preventing Burglary in Commercial and Institutional Settings

In this ASIS report Tim Prenzler, PhD, looks at how to assess, manage, and respond to burglaries that occur at commercial and industrial sites. While there is a considerable amount written about domestic burglary, research is less in evidence when the locale is non-residential. His report looks at the context in which burglaries occur, and includes a consideration of the burglar's approach. He examines a range of solutions, which aim to make it more difficult for would be offenders particularly in the workplace, and he shows where security managers can have an impact.To download the report, go to:
