Include missing persons in crime statistics

Police statistics place the national homicide average at about 2,000 people a year. Only about half of these are classified as murders.

Deaths caused by dangerous driving or of babies (abortion, infanticide, concealing birth) account for a couple of hundred people each. Suicides have been reported as low as 235 last year and as high as 528 in 2005.
