Crime Statistics
In 2003 19 women (older than 12) per 1000 were victim of a violent crime in the USA. Violent crimes included are homicide, rape, robbery, and both simple and aggravated assault. Based on a population of 275 million, that's about 14,315 a day or 1.9% a year. (Please correct me if I'm wrong). In the Netherlands the percentage for violent crime is 0.74% for the whole population. In Aruba even lower.
A US citizen is probably more safe in most countries outside the USA than in the USA. But maybe that is jumping to conclusions.

Grappig die daling vanaf 1993. Mijn hypothese: vanaf 1993 zitten alle mannen achter hun computer aan hun schwanz te sjorren vanwege zoveel gratis porno op het world wide web en hebben daarom minder tijd c.q. testosteron/adrenaline om misdaden te begaan. Vrouwen blijkbaar ook.
Aruba veilig? Daar kidnappen ze toch constant amerikanen?
