This is a place where questions of fact can be asked; as the answers become available, they will be recorded and catalogued (either here or on a separate page linked from here).
Questions
- Where to find statistics about the crime rate? (specifically in the U.S., but also worldwide)
- Where to find statistics about drug use? (Derek Jennings, Independent Opinion column, 2005-10-19: "Current figures put white drug use at almost 75% of the total, yet black people still make up almost half the prisoners, despite being only around 12% of the general population."),
- Why do U.S. schoolbuses stop at every house now? How large is this trend (just here in Durham, the whole U.S., worldwide, or what?)
Sources Found
- Human Security Report 2005: "documents a dramatic, but largely unknown, decline in the number of wars, genocides and human rights abuse over the past decade"
