Reduce crime – improve security

One in ten Britons still keeps an object by their bedside table in order to give them some peace of mind against the thought of an intruder breaking in.

A survey of 4,000 people by insurer Cornhill Direct indicates that the fear of burglary is very much prevalent among Britons, with a quarter saying they either had experienced it at first hand or knew someone who had.

Some one in 20 said they were so traumatised by the experience that they decided to move home after such an incident.

Despite Home Office reports suggesting that since 1999 we have taken increasing measures to tackle crime, such as installing security lights or CCTV, a high percentage of people are not taking up crime prevention methods.

David Keel, from Cornhill Direct, said: "We believe that people can help reduce their fear of being a victim of crime by improving the level of security in and around their homes."

He added: "The insurance industry supports policyholders by giving discounts on their premiums if they take approved security measures."
