A shootout is a gun battle between armed groups. A shootout often, but not necessarily, pits law enforcement against criminal elements; it could also involve two groups outside of law enforcement,
such as rival gangs. A shootout in a military context (i.e. regularly constituted armed forces or even guerrilla or insurgent forces) would usually be considered a battle or firefight (depending on
size), rather than a shootout. Shootouts are often portrayed in action films.
Home invasion is the crime of entering a private and occupied dwelling, with the intent of committing a crime, often while threatening the resident of the dwelling. It is a legally defined offense in
the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, and applies even if entry is not forced. It can also apply if someone is invited into a home and remains on the premises after being asked to leave by
the resident.
Home invasion differs from burglary, which is usually defined as unlawful entry into any occupied or unoccupied building, with intent to commit one of a list of specified offences. Home invasion
covers an intent to commit any crime.
Home invasion may be accompanied by other crimes. commit breaking and entering, and are sometimes intent on assault, robbery, rape, or murder. Houston, Texas saw a rise in such crimes in the late
1990s when elderly women shoppers at an upscale mall were targeted based on their jewelry, followed home, and robbed in their driveways.[citation needed]
Few statistics are available on home invasion as a crime, because it is not technically a crime in most states. Persons charged with "home invasion" are actually charged with robbery,
kidnapping, and assault charges. But law enforcement has been seeing the increase in "home-invasion robberies" since at least June 1995, when "home-invasion robberies" were the
topic of the cover story of The FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin. They state the crime is considered an alternative to bank or convenience store robberies, which are getting harder to pull off cleanly
due to technological advances in security. In this same article, the FBI recommends educating the public about home invasion.
Since 1995, some authorities have suggested that home invasion is a minimal threat to the average person and usually involves invaders who have a personal knowledge of the home and home-owner. Both
are somewhat true.[citation needed]
According to an Oxford English Dictionary (OED) draft entry for March 2004, the first published usage of the term in its modern sense is a November 1973 article in the Chicago Sun-Times. The OED also
cites a use of the term in the 1989 novel Toxic Shock (ISBN 0-575-04372-5) by Sara Paretsky.
Perhaps the most infamous home invasion of all time is the November 15, 1959 quadruple murder of the Clutter family by Richard "Dick" Hickock and Perry Edward Smith in rural Holcomb,
Kansas. The murders were detailed in Truman Capote's world-famous "nonfiction novel" In Cold Blood.
A more recent infamous home invasion occurred on July 23, 2007 in Cheshire, Connecticut where two paroled criminals terrorized the Petit family for hours, tying the daughters to beds, committing
sexual assault, strangling the mother, and leaving the father severely beaten; then setting the home afire with gasoline. The perpetrators may face the death penalty for these crimes.[1] Another
infamous home invasion occurred on November 26, 2007 when Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor was murdered during an overnight home invasion of his suburban Miami home. Four defendants were charged
with this crime.[1]
