The survey gathered information on six specific crimes; burglary, theft of property around the home; vandalism of home or property, automobile theft, robbery, and theft of an object from an automobile. Results showed that 19 percent of the households had been victimized with an offense rate of 34 incidents per 100 households. Rates of burglary and automobile theft were much higher than for England and Wales. In addition, crime was heavily concentrated in Dublin. Findings also showed variations according to household characteristics. Results indicated the desirability of allocating police resources to match crime patterns and to conduct further research on specific types of crime and geographic locations.
