Fig. 3-3-2-4 shows the international comparison of 11 countries excluding Switzerland, concerning "burglar alarms," "special door locks," and "special window/door grilles" among security measures for home/residence. Concerning "burglar alarms," the U.K. has the largest number of all countries, followed by Australia and the U.S.A, in that order. Regarding "special door locks," the U.K., Netherlands, and Australia have the largest number of all countries, in that order. Regarding "Special window/door grills," Australia has the largest number of all countries, followed by the U.K. and the U.S.A. Japan has the second lowest percentage after Poland.
  In addition, regarding the average number of security measures for home/residence per 1 respondent, the U.K. has the largest number of all (3.3 types), followed by Australia (3.0 types), U.S.A. (2.7 types), and Canada (2.6 types). Japan has 0.6 types, as mentioned above.
   Fig. 3-3-2-5 shows the relation between the average number of security measures for home/residence and the damage rate for breaking and entering or attempt of breaking and entering (during the past 5 years). It shows that the higher the damage rate for breaking and entering/attempt of breaking and entering is in a country, the higher the average number of security measures for home/residence becomes. In Japan, the damage rate is low and it is rare to encounter actual damage. Accordingly, the average number of security measures for home/residence is small.
