This is also informative too :

Householders and the use of force against intruders

its a pitty the police dont read this because it does seem that ringing the police usually ends up with teh victim been arrested or cautioned, if teh police want to install trust into teh public they need to start earning it and arrsting teh correct people

a woman alone in the house with kids facing an intruder is way up on my list of feeling threatened situations and to put it frankly the intruder should think hiself lucky the knife didnt end up inside him rather than cry to the police about been threatened by a woman with a knife behind a glass window alone with her kids
