The findings showed that approximately 10.3 percent of South Australian households were victims of at least one successful or attempted break and enter offense in the previous year. Residents within the Adelaide Statistical division were twice as likely to become victims (11.9 percent) compared with residents of nonmetropolitan areas (6.0 percent). The victimization rates within the Adelaide Statistical division ranged from 7.5 percent to 16.3 percent in the various suburbs. The results showed that victimization rates for breaking and entering decreased in direct proportion to the age of the head of household. Persons living alone and single-parent families were more likely to be victimized than married couples, either with or without children. Over 21 percent of break and enter victims and 31 percent of attempted break and enter victims had experienced multiple victimizations during the previous year. Over 75 percent of victims of successful break and enter offenses reported the crime to the police. 14 tables and 1 appendix
