From 'Statistical Abstracts of the United States 1984' p.180 table 294:

	Homicide Victims (excludes deaths of nonresidents of the US)

		Male	Female

	1970	13,278	3,570
	1977	15,355	4,613
	1978	15,838	4,594
	1979	17,628	4,922
	1980	19,088	5,190

From table 293:

	Rates per 100,000 resident population in specified group
	for 1980

		Homicide Victims		Homicide Rate

	white	white	black	black	white	white	black	black
	male	female	male	female	male	female	male	female

	10,381	3,177	8,385	1,808	10.9	3.2	66.6	13.5

Sounds to me like if Miche is really worried about homicides, we should
see him change so that he is not so nearly worried about the homicide
problems of women, as he is of black men.

p.s. No, i'm not really back actively on the net yet. I still don't have
	the time to post (except very occasionally), much less keep up a
	dialogue on an issue. I'm dying to get back to it, especially
	net.politics. I am still reading the net, tho.

To Ken Aren't: Thanks muchly for your motion to give me an award, but i
	am quite undeserving. My one mistake was to try to reply to an
	ARPAnet site. I wish i could say that someday i hope to have the
	opportunity to you what *you* deserve, but i see that you
	*already* live in New England. p.s. I never *did* receive the
	star program, *&^%$#@!
