ABSTRACT
A group of offenders aged 16 to 43 years from Sheffield were interviewed. Half of the sample of offenders had been convicted of burglary offences, with the remaining half being convicted of TWOC, but as Table 9.1 shows, many had committed other offences too. Indeed, Over 50 per cent of ‘burglars’ had committed a TWOC and over 50 per cent of ‘TWOCers’ had committed a burglary. ‘Burglars were much more likely to have shoplifted or committed drug offences and ‘TWOCers’ were much more likely to have committed theft from a vehicle.
