Maluleke said the second most common type of crime experienced by households was home robberies, which affected 155 000 families.<\/p>\n

The report estimated that 1.4 million incidences of housebreaking occurred in the country. Only about 59% of the households reported some or all incidences to the police. KwaZulu-Natal recorded the highest proportion (7.9%) of housebreakings.<\/p>\n

The second highest number of housebreakings was recorded in North West (7.8%), followed by the Eastern Cape (6.1%) and the Northern Cape (6%).<\/p>\n

Housebreakings peaked in December (146 000) and June (147 000).<\/p>\n

In addition, a total of 99 000 households experienced assault in 2021-’22, Maluleke said.<\/p>\n

He said assaults were likely experienced in women-headed households and households in non-metro areas.<\/p>\n

Around 213 000 households experienced an assault during the past five years. Assault cases increased by 70% compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n

The report revealed that 32 000 households experienced sexual offences during the past five years. Maluleke said it was an increase of 28% compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n
