BROOKLYN, NY, November 26, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A new research study by a major internet investigative organization, has uncovered substantial evidence of significant Increase in home burglaries and break-ins since the current economic recession in the United States. The study, done by the Home Security Research Study (YHWR), one of the premier online product/service review organizations in the United States, which was primarily designed to fashion a system by which consumers may find the best of the best home security system, and the most effective but most affordable programs, found that though home security and the safety of their loved ones, as well as their personal belongs, are some of the most important concerns in the lives of the average American home owner and renter, yet home break-ins or burglaries are some of the most common of crimes in our society. The study shows also that, in spite of that, the American home owner or tenant does NOT pay nearly as much attention as is necessary, or devote as much resources as is essential, to such issue in relative terms!
In an online interview with Benjamin Anosike, Ph.D., the Executive Director of the organization's research department, he stated that "For many home owners or renters in America today, there has been one added stress factor in their lives to deal with today, and that is that home burglaries, among other dreadful emergencies that can some times happen to people even in the supposed 'security' of their homes, such as home fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, and medical emergencies, etc., has been on the increase since the current economic down turn in the nation. In deed, by our study, home burglaries and these other emergencies, are not only a possibility these days in the lives of most Americans. But they are, in fact, a prevalent, common place occurrence which ACTUALLY generally do happen in the daily lives of most Americans, and, what is more, could, just as likely, happen to YOU in your own home and life."
According to a decade-old U.S. Department of Justice study, 1 out of 5 homes will have a burglary, fire or carbon monoxide poisoning every year, while in the year 2005, for example, nearly 3% of all households were burglarized. More than TWO MILLION Americans are victims of burglary every single year, amounting to some 2.43 million burglaries across the country in the year 1997, and 489,000 robberies, according to a Temple University's study.
But what is primarily responsible for this up tick in burglaries? "There is strong evidence uncovered in our research that those figures in terms of burglaries as well as other violent crimes, are sizably higher today relative to then," says Dr. Anosike. "And the prime reason is the element of the present poor, in deed harsh, economic recession and job conditions in the nation, especially as of late 2008 and beyond."
Anosike cites, as an example, the result of a recent annual survey conducted by the University of Florida, which showed that retail theft (including shoplifting, employee theft, administrative error and vendor fraud, etc), is up in 2009, and the National Retail Security Survey (NRSS) preliminary results, which show a real increase in the rate of retail theft for the first time in six years, from 1.44% of overall sales in 2007, to 1.52% in 2008, translating into losses of $36.5 billion, among other data.
AMERICANS TACKLE RISE IN BURGLARIES BY RUSHING TO BUY HOME ALARM MONITORED SYSTEMS
A major way the American consumers have reacted to this, has been that American home owners, obviously worried about the general rise in crimes and home burglaries, have shown heightened interest in the home security burglary alarm system, and the various brands that are in the market - the subject matter of this present YHWR study. By the overwhelming amount of data accumulated by the expert researchers of the YHWR investigative office, the researchers found that merely having a good, professionally installed and monitored ELECTRONIC HOME SECURITY SYSTEM ALONE, DRASTICALLY REDUCES the possibility of having a BURGLARY in a home, and hugely DETERS BURGLARS from hitting a home.
The YHWR research Home Security Research Study found that there's yet a principal key, however, to getting a good home security system that will accomplish the task and actually deter would-be burglars effectively. And that is, simply having a monitored home security alarm system (and related services) that is furnished you by a reputable, proven, solid home security company specialized in that trade.
Said Dr. Anosike, the YourHonestWebReviews.Com research Director: "Many numerous investigations, studies and statistics, reviewed in the course the YHWR research, immediately show, empirically, that there's a high degree of effectiveness for the use of a monitored electronic security system as a deterrent to home break-in and a prevention tool to combat burglaries. However, we find that that's just not that simple. A crucial element in that is that the consumer be able to choose THE RIGHT home security company, for in this industry it is the right company with the proper specialized experience, personnel, reputation, and record of quality service in the industry, that will almost always 'guarantee' that the home owner or renter will have the quality home protection system and equipments that he or she can trust to be dependable and effective in getting the burglary deterrence job done - nearly always, without fail or disappointment."
THE PRIMARY PROBLEM YOU'LL USUALLY BE CONFRONTED WITH AS A CONSUMER OR HOME OWNER INTERESTED IN GETTING GOOD HOME SECURITY SERVICE
The researchers found that being able to pick out and choose the RIGHT home security and burglary alarm system is the TOUGHEST and MOST DIFFICULT problem for the homeowner primarily due to the fact that there's such a great multitude and wide variety of optional house security and alarm systems and security companies in the market. Just perusing local telephone directories or Internet searches, will quickly yield you a large number of home security companies in any one of the major cities, which can often be most confusing for almost all but the most expert of security eyes.
By YHWR researchers studies, there was an average of 13,100 businesses nationwide that were classified as "alarm installing entities" or security companies or marketers of such items. And out of these, a consumer or home owner is supposed to pick out just ONE to secure his or her home or property. Furthermore, perhaps even more importantly, in trying to compare the various security systems to pick out the best and proper one for you, the consumer must also be able to have a pretty good idea and understanding of exactly which types of important security features are offered by each option.
Anosike says that "Like any other industry, there are good companies, and there are bad companies.
And remember that each of these array of companies and their different security systems, is continuously engaged in hot competition with the others to see which one can out-do the other in making the most fabulous advertising claims about their own individual products - in a constant flood of advertisements on the Internet, by radio and TV, by newspapers and bill boards, etc. And each of them, of course, will claim excellence and high quality for the brand they provide customers, and will all tell you, of course, that their own particular brand of product (and the related services), is the very greatest and the very best quality!"
So, how the heck can the average person tell the good ones from the bad ones? With so many home security companies (and products) out there, they all soon start looking and sounding alike after a while, and so also are their TV, radio, and newspaper ads.
It is here that the research work of the YourHonestWebReviews.Com reviewers come into play. The basic objective of the study being to provide an HONEST, expert, independent, unaffiliated, quality evaluation and ranking of the variety of home security systems that are out there, and, in the end, to select the Top Dozen Home Security companies in the nation, but to single out the very best of the best company of them all in the end - the Number #1 home security company in America. The study is designed to be absolutely objective, unbiased and EVIDENCE-based, so consumers can very comfortably TRUST and rely upon it, and KNOW for sure, that it's "the real thing, providing you the best of the best in home security."
