[Campaigns-l] off-topic: international crime data

[Noel Whelan]

Thanks for your input. The CIA world factbook provides illustrations
of exactly what I'm looking for, if it would just include the data I'm
interested in (for instance the table with Internet user counts per
country; but with crime incidents by type per country instead). ;/

If it comes down to it in the end, collecting the data on every
country for which I can, and then compilining it, would be time
consuming; but it _could be_ done..

Thanks,
- Noel
