What's the point of using 10 year old data?

You should know that crime in the United States is down considerably from the "1995 National Crime Victimization Survey of the U.S." If you look now, you will probably find that the violent crime rate in the United States is lower than many European countries (except for homicide using a gun).

Since that 1995 report, the rate of violent crime in the United States has fallen by over 50%. The rate of rape has fallen by more than 50%, robbery has declined over 50%.
