... and this post is entirely in the wrong forum, I meant this for General. Moving it over there now.

And figarowa, you mention that the number of people in the correctional system is increasing -- this could mean any of a number of things. It could mean that a lot of old offenses are finally being solved, or it could mean that there is more petty crime, or that many people are still in prison as a result of crimes from the last peak years of 1992-1994.

I wonder, if there are statistics for average number of arrests per year on violent crime charges, or number of "solved" violent crimes per year?
