b'The relationship between burglary and architecture is far from abstract. While it is easy to focus merely on questions of how burglars use or abuse the built environment \\u2014 looking for opportunities of illicit entrance \\u2014 burglary, in fact, requires architecture. It is an explicitly spatial crime, one that cannot exist without a threshold to cross, without \\u201cthe magic of four walls,\\u201d as at least one legal theorist has written.\\n\\nJoin Geoff Manaugh, author of the new book A Burglar\\u2019s Guide to the City, to discuss more than two thousand years\\u2019 worth of heists and break-ins, with a discussion ranging from the surprisingly \\u2014 one might say uselessly \\u2014 complicated legal definition of an interior space to the everyday tools burglars use to gain entry.\\n\\nWritten over the course of three years of research, Manaugh\\u2019s Burglar\\u2019s Guide includes flights with the LAPD Air Support Division, a visit with a panic room designer and retired state cop in his New Jersey warehouse, an introduction to the subculture of recreational lock-picking, a still-unsolved bank tunnel heist in 1980s Los Angeles, and much more.\\n\\nFor more about this event, visit:\\nhttps://cyber.harvard.edu/events/luncheons/2016/04/Manaugh'
