Cracking Down on Home Invasion


Published: March 30, 2008

THE killings of three members of a Cheshire, Conn., ****** during a home invasion in July has spurred a flurry of legislative proposals in the region to crack down on a crime that officials say has become more prevalent in recent years.

Many *************** officials, be they from small towns like Cheshire or urban areas like Jersey City, say they need stiffer penalties to combat the ****** nature of residential break-ins.

“People who go into homes are no longer satisfied with taking stuff and moving on. There’s an element of ******** now that’s disturbing,” said J. Darren Stewart, the police chief in Stonington, Conn., where an older couple were assaulted and robbed of $500 and some prayer cards in a home invasion last month. “People want to feel safe where they put their heads down at night and spend time with their families.”

While the F.B.I. does not report annual statistics on home invasions, its Uniform Crime Reports show that across the country, robberies in homes rose 29 percent between 2000 and 2004, 9.7 percent in 2005 and another 8 percent in 2006, the last year for which figures were available.
