Well I would consider the B&E of someone’s home a violent crime .. as they do (or did) in Florida.

If you are busting into someone’s home .. there is the potential of confrontation which means .. as the criminal you are willing to hurt or kill any occupants that may be inside .. as opposed to, let’s say a closed place of business!

BTW: I’m not sure if it’s still the same but in Florida, burglary of a home carried a potential life sentence at one time.
