Police Advice On The Usage Of Barbed Or Razor Wires
https://www.accidentclaims.co.uk/per...-injury-claims
When it comes to the advice provided by the police in the UK, they do not recommend using barbed wire on the top of fences around residential homes. The reason the police advise against its use as a way of preventing intruders from gaining access is because a homeowner/occupant could be held liable for any injuries an intruder suffers when attempting a break in. It could also be seen as distasteful and inappropriate by other residents in a neighbourhood. Instead, the police suggest homeowners/occupants use spiky plants, trellis fencing and other deterrents to prevent intruders from gaining access to a property.

According to the Occupiers Liability Act 1984, burglars injured breaking into another person’s property can sue a homeowner or property owner due to the unsafe conditions. This may mean that a burglar or trespasser injured by barbed wire or razor wire would have the right to sue for damages.
Those who ensure they 'know their rights' can make a load of money no doubt.
