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) Stephanie Tuszynski Visiting Assistant Professor Department of Theatre and Film University of Toledo Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2007 19:58:37 -0700 (PDT) From: Robert Cannon <rcannon100@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Air-L] crime statistics?
