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.
