Why Forcible and violent entry is to be the operative clause in burglary insurance?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
The definition of a burglary is entering a building unlawfully with intent to commit a felony or to steal valuable property. If there is no sign of forced entry, the insurance company has no way of knowing what actually occurred. You may be able to prove that it was a legitimate burglary if you had a burglar alarm in place, or had recently reported stolen keys, or a former employee...
The insurance company can argue that you did not take the steps to ensure that the situation could have been avoided.

Is burglary of a structure considered a violent crime or a property crime?
It is usually treated as such. In the U.S., most states have generally treated either burglary committed at night or of an inhabited dwelling or both as a serious felony, akin to a violent crime. In California, for example, burglary of any inhabited dwelling (including boats and trailers, with "inhabited" meaning currently used for habitation, whether occupied or not) is "first-degree burglary" and is punishable by two to six years in prison, whereas any other burglary (second-degree) is considered a "wobbler" (chargeable as either a misdemeanor or a felony, punishable by up to a year in jail or prison). Compare this to robbery, which is two to nine years in prison, depending on degree and circumstances. Residential burglary, like robbery, presents risks of violence to the victim (a struggle could result, a victim could be hurt or killed to silence them if they raise an alarm or call for help), and so it is generally treated as violent, as robbery likewise is even if violence is only threatened and not actually used. In the Supreme Court case of James v. United States (2007), the Court ruled that "attempted burglary" is a violent felony for the purposes of the federal Armed Career Criminal Act, which mandates a 15-year prison term for a felon with three prior drug-related or violent felony convictions who is found in possession of a firearm.
