Likewise, the high density of tenants with complex backgrounds and the lack of security awareness (such as leaving the front gate unlocked) rendered some buildings susceptible to burglary. Thieves typically stole electronic goods like cell phones or computers to be resold for cash. Criminals were most likely to be male, young, and rural migrant workers breaking and entering a residence by damaging the lock on the front door. The majority of the crime reports came from patrolling. Few reports came from tenants or villagers, signifying low collective efficacy in the community.enbook part10.4324/9780429286155
