when I looked at the assault rates at the bureau of justice statistics homepage http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance/aslt.htm
they show aggravated assaults being approximately the same from 1973 to 1994 and a steady decline since then. Was there some dramatic change during the 60s or early 70s that caused the increase in aggravated assaults claimed by the article or is it something wrong with the statistics?
