Used Book in Good Condition
That question is terrifying.
There's an interesting book that talks about how the way we calculate violent crime rates is completely wrong because it almost always excludes corporate crime (such as the poisoning of employees, town residents, and consumers).
If I were to sell you something poisonous, lie about its healthiness, and make it highly addictive... I'd be tried for murder. Yet the tobacco companies did exactly that. They knowingly hid science regarding the dangers of their products, fabricated science to lie about its healthiness, manufactured it to increase addiction rates, and then sold it to everyone targeting children and adults.
The book also talks about how OSHA workplace injury rates don't have an effective way to develop exposure that leads to illness (like asbestos causing cancer). Nor does it move statistics from the illness tally to the death tally if that illness is the cause of death.
A very good read if you're interested.
We police poverty, not crimes.

Which is what prompted my comment.

You might have to be specific for my lack of education. I thought you were referencing Standard and Poor's. "Poor go to jail" is a bandied about bandwagon slogan currently popular in the the blogosphere. "Poor get prison" is also part of a rather infamous justice ideology book's title.
