    Not exactly a reassuring headline, is it?

    Let's be clear: That's just each expert's sense of things. We rely on hunches because real numbers don't exist, likely because no one thought it important to keep a tally until recently.

      Likely because someone thought it important not to keep a tally until recently.

      National crime statistics in the U.S. are a big deal. This is the dog that didn't bark.

        And you gotta wonder why the dog was muzzled.

        In strangely related/unrelated news - no stats kept on how many dogs are shot, either.
