[Air-L] crime statistics

[Tuszynski, Stephanie]

Thanks Robert. But I already had the IC3 reports, and they focus on white collar crime (fraud in particular).

I'm looking for data on violent crime, including assault. I can't find any hard numbers. Even googling through news reports I only came up with 2 cases in the US in the last 2 years that involved contact on myspace (the "20,000 sex offenders on myspace!" panic is what prompted this question)
