The Virtual Burglary Project

The Virtual Bur­glary Project uses a Virtual Reality approach to better understand the behavior of residential burglars and to contribute to crime prevention. Data collections occur in Germany, the Netherlands, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
The Virtual Burglary Project is a research program co-headed by Prof. Jean-Louis van Gelder (Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law in Freiburg/Germany) and Prof. Claire Nee (University of Portsmouth) and involves a collaboration with researchers from Leiden University and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
