Every year there are over 2 million burglaries all over the USA. It means there are over 6.000 burglaries every day. Most of them are residential burglaries.

If we knew how much a crime costs society, their reasoning went, maybe we could better decide how much money to spend trying to stop it. They found that each burglary in the United Statesâa car break-in, for exampleâcosts $41,288. For armed robberies the cost increases eightfold, to $335,733. Every aggravated assault costs $145,379. Each rape costs $448,532. Then there is murder. The researchers, led by sociologist Matt DeLisi, put the price tag at a whopping $17,252,656. That means in 2009, according to the FBI, murder cost the United States almost $263 billionânearly as much the federal government annually spends on Medicaid.
