Over a three year period, the lock out crime scheme has contributed to a 24.5 per cent. reduction in domestic burglary against a target of 2.1 per cent. and has improved security in approximately 17,000 homes across Northern Ireland against a target of 7,000 to 10,000 homes.
Feedback from the beneficiaries of the scheme has indicated that a majority enjoy an increased level of personal security as a direct result of this initiative.
