You definitely need a citation if you're going to make a claim like walkable areas are less safe from crime. However, we've also legalized killing people with your car if it's an accident (or you can plausibly claim such). It's not technically a crime, but it's still a bummer. The US has around 32000ish auto deaths a year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in... It has around 15000ish murders per year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention... I suppose that a few of those are vehicular homicide, but most aren't. I quite like not being killed while I walk or cycle, and it looks like it makes sense to focus on not getting killed by cars. |
