"Burglary" is nothing more than an "entering" with intent to commit another crime (usually theft). There is nothing violent about it.
In every state I know of a burglary of a home or occupied residence is an "aggravated burglary" and much more serious than an auto burglary or a burglary of a storage shed or empty business.
Obviously there are times when burglaries involve violence, and these should be treated as violent crimes. But a burglary by itself is not violent.
