What is burglary?
Burglary in the United States is considered a felony or misdemeanor. It includes trespassing and theft, going inside of a building or car, with the intent to commit any crime. Even if the crime is not necessarily theft, it is still illegal. Some states consider burglary committed during the day as housebreaking, not burglary. The Bureau of Justice Statistics defines it as unlawful or forcible entry into a building. There are four types of burglary in total: completed burglary, forcible entry, unlawful entry, and attempted forcible entry.Burglary in the United States
