Dear Dr. Crime: How many people are on Death Row?
Reader
Dear Reader.
At the end of 2013, combining state and federal statistics, we had 2,979 prisoners awaiting execution.
The chances of being executed were low, as last year only 35 were executed. The states all
use lethal injection to execute.
Dear Dr. Crime: My daughter married a bum, a really rotten fellow and I am afraid he will hurt
the kids or my daughter. I think he drinks too much. Do things like that happen as often as our
TV suggests?
Scared Parent
Dear Scared: The US Bureau of Justice Statistics tells us that what you are afraid of was 11% of
all violence from 1998 to 2002, and about half were against a husband or wife. Of those assaults,
murder was less than half of 1%. The numbers are falling.
Dear Dr. Crime: I am a good looking woman, what are my chances of being raped?
Hot Chick
Dear lady: You have a high chance. One in five women will be raped at some point in their life.
Men don’t have that risk as only one in 71 men will be raped. You reduce your chances by being
with other people and using common sense. Adding up all cost, each rape cost $151,423. What
is really sad is that one in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before they turn
18 years old, often by family members. I get really mad at bullies, and the worse of all are the
bums that hurt little kids.
