Famous quotes containing the words crime and/or statistics:

    “Squeeze human nature into the straitjacket of criminal justice and crime will appear.”
    —Karl Kraus (1874–1936)

    “We ask for no statistics of the killed,
    For nothing political impinges on
    This single casualty, or all those gone,
    Missing or healing, sinking or dispersed,
    Hundreds of thousands counted, millions lost.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
