It then identifies a series of questions to help you analyze your local home invasion robbery problem. Finally, it reviews responses to the problem and what is known about these from evaluative research and police practice. In general, home invasion robberies have the following five features: - Offender entry is forced and/or unauthorized (except in some drug-related robberies) - Offenders seek confrontation (i.e., the intent is to rob) - Confrontation occurs inside dwellings - Offenders use violence and/or the threat of violence - Offenders demand and take money and/or property There are several common motives for home invasion robberies. The most obvious is to steal valuable items, such as cash, drugs, or property, which can be sold for cash. Another is retaliation, such as against a rival drug dealer, gang member, or domestic partner; robbery is part of the retaliation. Another is sexual assault in which robbery is committed incidentally. In some communities, home invasion robberies are principally drug rip-offs in which the target is cash or drugs, or both, and both offenders and victims are involved in the illegal drug trade.
