Property marking is a popular tool used by police agencies in burglary prevention programmes. 345 property marking kits were distributed to households in a treatment area in an English city. Changes in burglary in the treatment area were compared to three control areas. Crime type displacement to vehicle crime, criminal damage and violent crime, and changes in crime while controlling for geographic displacement were examined. Burglary decreased significantly by 82% in the treatment area in comparison to control areas during the first six months of the intervention. A significant diffusion of benefit effect to vehicle crime and criminal damage was also observed. The decreases, however, were short-lived with burglary levels returning to pre-intervention levels in the treatment area after 12 months.

财产标记是警察机构在防盗计划中使用的流行工具。向英国城市治疗区的家庭分发了 345 个财产标记工具包。将治疗区入室盗窃的变化与三个控制区进行了比较。研究了犯罪类型转移到车辆犯罪、刑事破坏和暴力犯罪，以及控制地理位移时犯罪的变化。在干预的前六个月，与控制区相比，治疗区的入室盗窃显着减少了 82%。还观察到利益效应对车辆犯罪和刑事损害的显着扩散。然而，这种下降是短暂的，12 个月后，治疗区的入室盗窃水平恢复到干预前的水平。
