520 |a The article examines the criminal opportunity theory of victimization for burglary and household larceny. According to the authors, burglary and household larceny are the two dependent variables. Larceny involves theft from both around and inside the home. Burglary requires that the theft be from the home and involve unlawful entry. Significant effects on victimization were found for occupancy, the presence of establishments and community disorganization. The authors claim that their analysis has a number of implications for refining opportunity theories of victimization. First, it suggests that ecological factors that affect the risk of household property crime operate at different levels of aggregation. Some elements of opportunity are a function of neighborhood, for example, whereas others are functions of blocks. Second, a number of the hypothesized relationships between victimization and opportunity variables measured at the unit level persist even after strict controls are employed for the dangerousness of the social context at the segment level
