26. Hi, I agree...somewhat.

IMO, and this is only opinion, statistics of this kind will be subject to inclusion false positives as well as the true positives that are never counted because they're not reported. This, also IMO, is a reason for me personally not to argue the statistical details.

However, I would also like to point out a qualitative aspect which also isn't reflected either in the GVA or the CV survey. I have read that a survey of inmates has sited that the most often noted fear among the prisoners is encountering an armed victim.

Carry on.
