From my days as a Social Scientist I remember the crime figures vary very little from year to year.
The only variation is in the fashion that dictates what crimes are to be emphasised.
They always concentrate of the crimes of poor people, and always ignore the crimes of the wealthy and powerful.
Will Bush, Cheney and Blair wind up at the Hague? - I doubt it.
Will Geitner, Bernanke etc be seen as anything other than over-extending businessmen - I bet you the value of the bailout they will not.
