Editing Burglary (section)

===Nighttime burglaries===
In some states, a burglary committed during the hours of daylight is technically not burglary, but housebreaking.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://definitions.uslegal.com/h/housebreaking/|title=Housebreaking Law & Legal Definition|website=definitions.uslegal.com|access-date=2016-09-18}}</ref> In many jurisdictions in the U.S., burglary is punished more severely than housebreaking. In [[California]], for example, burglary was punished as burglary in the first degree, while housebreaking was punished as burglary in the second degree. California now distinguishes between entry into a residence and into a commercial building, with the burglary of a residence bearing heavier punishment.

In states that continue to punish burglary more severely than housebreaking [[twilight]], night is traditionally defined as hours between 30 minutes after sunset and 30 minutes before sunrise.
