Today's world is violent, probably more so than 10-20 or even 30 years ago.
This quiz helps one assess the chances of being a victim of a crime. It's anonymous and doesn't ask any personal information (name, address, etc.).
Think about the questions and answer them honestly. Some are drug/gang related but again they don't know who you are so be honest to get a good assessment of your risk of being raped, robbed, beatened, murdered or burglarized.

Mine:
Beaten: Your total is 31.
Murder: Your total is 10.
Burglary: Your total is -21.
I had to think twice about it all, especially burglary ... since I live with my parents and they are deaf themselves. We wouldn't hear glass being broken or even a door kicked in... vibrations MIGHT wake one of us up... (hope it's me) but... they're elderly and fixed income and I am on low income so affording high or even low-tech anti-burglary devices is not an option at present.
Still my parents have lived here over 30 years and the police/fire/ambulance KNOWS they're deaf and their response time is amazingly quick. We have a fire-ambulance station less than 2 blocks away and police patrol heavily in this area.
