You appear to be having trouble with the concept of per capita. I can understand how you missed it, since it is only taught from the 7th grade on in various gov't, civics and economics classes all the way through COLLEGE. The part of that page you want to be looking at is "United States Crime Index Rates Per 100,000 Inhabitants"
Rate of burglaries:
1999: 770.4
2000: 728.8
2001: 741.8
2002: 747.0
2003: 741.0
2004: 730.3
2005: 726.9
2006: 729.4
2007: 722.5
2008: 730.8
The point is you are safer now than you have EVER BEEN in your entire pathetic, ignorant, bigoted, red-neck life, but you still feel the need to justify carrying and extra dick around in your pocket with ignorant statements like "With how society is today..."
