What is another word for home invasion?
Pronunciation: [hˈə͡ʊm ɪnvˈe͡ɪʒən] (IPA) 
Home invasion is a term used to describe an illegal and forceful entry into someone's home with the intention of committing a crime. However, this term has a frightening and negative connotation which can be replaced by other synonyms like burglary, breaking and entering, home robbery, house invasion, home penetration, etc. These synonyms convey the same meaning but without the implication of violence and fear associated with the term home invasion. The use of more neutral synonyms is critical in reducing undue panic and anxiety as well as educating the public about the nature of the crime in question.
