Property crime is almost everyday life in police practice and therefore deserves attention in terms of its prevention and suppression. Analysis of the data of the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Croatia for 2011, 2012 and 2013 showed that the average share of property crime in the total crime was about 60%. Also, an important component of property crime was a criminal damage, ie. economic (according to police data, amount of damage caused by the commission of property crimes each year reaches half a billion) and „intangible“ (fear, mental traum). The process of crime prevention is of the goals noted in the main document (Strategic Eurocrim 2015, Porto, Portugal 621 Plan of the Ministry of Interior and other institutions 2014 - 2016) indicating whose responsibilities encompass the work of preservation within public security. Within this strategic plan, the first goal is to reduce the risk of criminal behaviour as well as improve the crime prevention. Development and implementation of prevention projects is one of the ways of strengthening the crime prevention. In this sense, the main goals of The Police Crime Prevention Programme on Property Offences that has been launched in the beginning of 2015 at the national level are: to strengthen the internal co-operation of all specialized lines of police work through the implementation of joint activities related to the prevention of property crime, influence the further development of Croatian image as a safe tourist destination, raise the level of awareness of citizens on measures of self- protection related offenses property crime.This presentation will refer to some of the preliminary results of the research which was conducted in an area under the jurisdiction of the primorsko-goranska Police Administration on a sample of 141 analyzed cases of the crime of aggravated burglaries
