Rutgers Research: Alarms Result in 40% Decrease in Burglaries
New Rutgers University research provides an indisputable correlation to support the fact that alarm systems reduce burglaries.
In fact, the five-year study shows that in Newark, NJ, an increase in registered residential alarm systems resulted in a 40 percent decrease in burglaries during a five-year period.
What distinguishes this study is that it statistically proves alarm systems not only protect homes without displacing burglars to nearby houses but even provide those homes associated protection.
