Low Cost Interventions
6. Nudging down burglary
Aims to reduce burglaries, especially in repeat postcode areas, 'nudge leaflets' are delivered to homes in burglary hotspots, leaflets are designed using MINDSPACE and EAST behavioural principles.
The cost and tracking undertaken as part of the intervention trialled in Durham Constabulary cost £3,125.94.
For every £1 invested, £5.39 was saved (burglary and vehicle crime combined).
Rollout would include, planning and design, printing and logistics and deployment, this would take about 4-6 weeks in total.
There would be no maintenance cost.
Effectiveness
£5.39 saved for every £1 spent, 8.5% reduction in reported offences of residential burglary and a 6% reduction in reported offences of vehicle crime.
