Don't wish to invade privacy, so feel more than free not to participate or, if you vote, not to post. But I am interested in the incidence - likelihood - of any of us being involved in violent crime. So, I thought a fair place to start was here.
So, the question would be: have you been the personal victim of a violent street or house-crime, (meaning against your person) - or of an attempted one? Violent crime would mean being robbed on the street - or in your home while you were there, assaulted with or without deadly weapon, raped, or (unlikely) kidnapped.
An attempt would be such an incident that was imminently about to occur but which was truncated by your flight, taking defensive action, or intervention by Police or others.
I also wonder what the general stats are for the general population of the US for the same question: i.e.: what is likelihood of such an attack. Never saw info on this. Anyone know of any?
I have not been such a victim by the way, hope I never will, and consider myself lucky that but for the grace of God......
