Home security is a huge problem, but this is not new - it has always been a problem for parents and homeowners. The problem is that family structure has changed. Not long ago, people had a family much larger and their mothers or grandmothers were at home to look after children. With six, eight or ten children in a family, the house has never been so empty the thieves have not had a lot of opportunities. There was more social solidarity too, so the criminals were reluctant to steal from their neighbors. So they set about shopping instead.

However, shops and other companies began using electronic burglar alarms as prices fell.
