Burglaries and home invasions have dropped drastically over the last 10 years, mostly as the advent of a cashless society and the dropping value of consumer products has made it an almost pointless crime, most people dont have enough in their house worth stealing, people dont keep cash around anymore, even jewelry is less prevalent
20 years ago you would have a TV and stereo, maybe a computer that would be worth stealing, you cant give that stuff away now, property crime rates now are about the same as they were in 1961 but they havent stayed steady, they rose rapidly to a spike in 1991 and then have fallen rapidly back since then
