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.

Sorry, didn't want to leave out the other post.
As for causation/correlation, it's hard to argue about that when the republicans backing this bill in AZ are arguing that the crime rate is why they want this bill. The crime rate is DOWN! The crime is not because of illegal immigration which is also DOWN! It is as KSig RC said, "a dog and pony show."
