I just bought and installed this inexpensive kit to reinforce my doors. My door can probably still be kicked open, but this kit will make it several good kicks rather than one or two.

The weakest part of the door is the jamb which is set in a wood frame. The jamb which comes with the kit has 7 3.5 inch screws. You can just buy the jamb itself which is 30 dollars. Of course someone determined can still kick through or smash a window, but at least there is more there holding it closed. The jamb is now much stronger.
To go with your reinforced door a high quality security screen door with dead bolt, which can be found at Home Depot, completes the job. It wont stop them, but it will slow them down and provide better security.
