A full day of writing about observational definitions of crime and the resulting statistics. I'm sure it'll be fascinating reading. Kids went swimming and then they and all their friends came back here, at which point I was pacing up and down trying to figure out how to end the paper. I still haven't figured it out, but it's not due for another ten days so I have time to play with it. (read, obsess over it.)

One statistic to think about... in 1994 in British Columbia, 33 pedophiles were known to have abused 2,055 children, between them. That's an average of 62 each, in a year... and they were boy scout leaders and daycare workers, not strangers hiding in the bushes at playgrounds.
