Which of the following ,if true, would best explain the results of the study ?
A) Burglars generally avoid residences with home security systems,which are more common in busy metropolitan areas.
B) Burglars in metropolitan areas who steal large, bulky items generally drive to the houses they intend to burglarize
c)Two weeks after a given burglary , the likelihood of another's accruing greatly increases for any house within a half-mile radius
D)Burglars spend most of their time performing routine , non criminal activities and will usually commit crimes on streets they frequently travel.
E)Burglars in urban environments often share information about which neighborhoods they are unlikely to be apprehended in .
I took lot of time to fix this concept in my mind..
