than crime itself. [Most
* of this STUNNING chapter not shown: buy the book!]
*
* Hard, consistent and detailed knowledge about crime has been gathered
* by the Census Bureau for the Bureau of Justice Statistics, part of the
* Justice Department. Under this program, twice a year, 50,000 Americans
* are asked dozens of detailed and probing questions about their experience
* with crime.
*
* This procedure is considered highly reliable...and every year they publish
* an authoritative annual report summarizing criminal victimization.
*
* Consider, for example, rape, robbery and felonious assault, the nation's
* most widespread crimes of violence. These are terrifying events that
* legitimately generate serious public concern about both personal safety
* and the overall quality of life in the United States.
*
* In 1992, the most recent comparable year that is available from the
* Census Bureau, has a startling comparison to twenty years before.
*
* Regarding rape, robbery and felonious assault:
*
* In 1992, 15.6 out of every 1000 Americans had been a crime victim.
* In 1973, 17.8 out of every 1000 Americans had been a crime victim.
*
* Thus, during two thirds of the period discussed by Freeh in his
* terrifying speech about the nation's soaring crime rates, the
* American people themselves were telling the story of a declining
* number of violent criminal attacks.
