In NYS that can constitute assault as you had no right to “beat” them. Also opens you up to a world of lawsuits in this day an age. you’ve got to be REALLY careful with this.

99.9% of the time it’s just not worth it unless life and limb are on the line.  
Someone breaks into my truck outside I may try to scare them off but that’s it. Someone breaks into my house with wife and daughter upstairs sleeping they’re in for a world of hurt, and I’d deal with any consequences thereafter. As stated, circumstance apply greatly.
