Excellent article

Really good find this time.

Link.


My favorite part, was the quote of the following statistic:
"When a robbery victim does not defend himself, the robber succeeds 88 percent of the time, and the victim is injured 25 percent of the time. When a victim resists with a gun, the robbery success rate falls to 30 percent, and the victim injury rate falls to 17 percent. No other response to a robbery – from drawing a knife to shouting for help to fleeing – produces such low rates of victim injury and robbery success."
I wonder what the percentage is, of robbers who get shot and still go on to rob the victim?
