According to data from the study "In the 2006 home safety" of the Observatory of the security, 4 out of 10 citizens has strengthened the safety and security of his home last year, 5 percent more than in 2005. The growing wave of robberies with violence in homes with great social impact has led to insecurity in the home remains a concern of the Spanish.
Data from this study - conducted by TNS research to 1,000 people in the month of December - confirm that the gateway is still the main way of the thieves access to the interior of the houses. And 55 per cent of the robbery produced in housing blocks in 2006, is produced with access through the main door, compared to 47% of the previous year, this percentage to rise 21 percent in the case of detached houses (48 per cent of the total number of respondents). The second path to Rob homes after the door is the window, with 28.3 per cent of the cases in flats, figure that rises to 30.5 per cent in the case of the chalets. Behind the secondary door and terrace would be found. It is important, therefore, to check the status of the doors and locks on a regular basis. They must be in perfect condition as if they are defective or are very old, they may not block access by thieves.
The poll also reflects that about 20 per cent of the population has suffered a burglary or attempted robbery at his home once, a figure that it has increased nearly 2 percent from last year (from 16.4 to 18 per cent). In this sense, the study data shows the growing interest of the citizens to improve the safety of their homes. Only 4 of every 10 respondents claim to have a door armoured or armoured, while half said that your House has lock with one or more anchor points (48 percent). The respondents rely more security advice to ferreteros and installers than any other professional (70 per cent of respondents). Finally, a 12 per cent of the Spanish calls for more police on the streets, as that would feel more secure against possible theft.
