Burglary is covered by the Theft Act 1968, Section 9 (1,2).  The term "Burglary" covers a wide range of offences characterised by the type of property attacked.  This includes whether the offender attempts to steal anything in the building, harms the victim and the offender's modus operandi.

In Oxford, burglary rates have been dropping for some time thanks to a wide-ranging approach to tackling the problem.

However, when you are a victim of a burglary it can have a devastating effect on your life and health.
