Does section 1202.4 of the California Penal Code require a court to order reimbursement of security expenses for a victim of a burglary that is not a violent felony?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Murphy, 2d Crim. No. B270874 (Cal. App. 2017):

Moreover, subdivision (f)(3) of section 1202.4 merely contains a nonexclusive list of losses that must be included in an order of victim restitution. In other words, that a court shall order reimbursement of security expenses for a victim of a burglary that qualifies as a violent felony does not mean that a court shall not order reimbursement of such expenses for a victim of a burglary that does not so qualify. "Because the statute [section 1202.4] uses the language 'including, but not limited to' these enumerated losses, a trial court may compensate a victim for any economic loss which is proved to be the direct result of the defendant's criminal behavior, even if not specifically enumerated in the statute. [Citation.]" (People v. Keichler (2005) 129 Cal.App.4th 1039, 1046.)
