Lawerence Southwich Jr. 400,000 fewer violent crimes and at least 800,000 violent crimes deterred..
NCVS (National Crime Victimization Survey)....108,000
Notice, the 3 different groupings of stats from the research listed so far.....not one of them approaches the NCVS number of 100,000.....yet you claim to know that is the correct number....
All very old. Crime rates have changed dramatically. Not to mention the surveys themselves have been debunked several times over. And Kleck has stated most defenders are involved in criminal activity. Your Cato institute even says many are felons.
