How long is the average criminal able to keep up their lifestyle before they are caught by police or killed? Though it's difficult to get criminals to 'fess up to the truth once they've been arrested, there are a few statistics that shed light on just how dangerous this �career� may be.
It appears that the lifespan of a criminal depends in large part on the type of crime they typically commit. Petty thieves, for example, may be able to continue their crimes for much longer than a rapist or murderer. In part this is due to increased police power to hunt for the worst criminals, and in part it's because those who use violence to commit crimes are more likely to be felled by violence themselves.
How many homes can a single criminal burglarize before being caught? According to recent data about home invasions � the type of burglary that most homeowners fear most � the average criminal is able to break into a handful of homes, perhaps five or six, before being caught. Though if you're a victim of such a crime you certainly hope the thief is caught immediately, the evidence shows that it may take a while. Still, the vast majority of such criminals are caught eventually, no matter how careful they are to only target homes with minimal security defenses.
Those who use violence � especially if it involves a gun or a knife � are more likely to be killed in the process of committing a crime. A victim might use the attacker's weapon against them, or be holding a weapon of their own. According to one statistic, the average life span for a violent criminal is just three years from the beginning of their career until their death. Some say that the longest living violent criminals last just five to seven years after beginning this lifestyle. Whether they're caught by police or felled by violence while committing a crime, these criminals will be off the streets very quickly.
With this knowledge, why would anyone get into this lifestyle? Though this point seems obvious, the preponderance of this lifestyle, as evidenced by rising crime rates across the nation, shows that it remains alluring despite the immense danger. The 'bad guys' might be glamorized by Hollywood, but in fact this is a risky lifestyle.
Much of the research into the lifespan of criminals has focused on gang members. These criminals typically start off with petty crimes, such as shoplifting, but quickly progress into more significant or violent crimes, increasing the danger. This is a violent and dangerous business, where guns are an everyday reality. Teens and, increasingly even younger children, become part of the gang lifestyle earlier, dramatically increasing the possibility that they will be killed by violence at a young age. The average gang member lives to be just 20 years and 5 months old. With the average US life expectancy at 78 years, gang members can expect to live just over a quarter of this.
