The Emotional Impact Of Being A Crime Victim

If you've ever been the victim of a crime, you know how awful you can feel afterwards.

Burglary is one of those crimes that can leave you feeling very vulnerable, as these criminals have come into your personal residence and violated your privacy.

SafeWise took a look at the statistics and found that population size doesn't matter, as each house is a potential target for criminals. They found that 18 cities had over 15,000 residents, while 16 cities also had a population of under 1,000.
