BTW, I felt safer where I lived in Baltimore than I did in Shreveport, LA.

You're messing with my head woman. I was trying to quote you and your post went poof.
Anyway, most crimes seem to be that way. I'm not actually sure which crimes are more likely to be perpetrated by a stranger rather than by a family member or acquaintance. Murder, rape, child abuse, all are committed by those 'closest' to you far more often than by the random person on the street, but most people seem to focus on the stranger in the van, the creep in the alley, the illegal immigrant on the street as the person you should be afraid of. Maybe because it's just too hard to believe you could know someone who would do terrible things.
