Famous quotes containing the words crime and/or statistics:
“Our crime against criminals is that we treat them as villains.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
