Reality.

This byline was in the San Francisco Chronicle this morning.


South African Crime:
South Africa's murder rate - one of the world's highest - has dropped slightly, but the country faces a distressing rise in rapes, robberies and hijackings, South African police said Tuesday.  The number of murders decreased 3.4 percent to 18,148 between April 2008 and March 2009.  Sexual offenses increased 10.1 percent, with a total of 71,500 reported offences.  Robberies at homes and businesses increased more dramatically, up 27.3 and 41.5 percent respectively.

What's the solution?
