I have never dismissed the benefits of training. quote:
Anyone can be shot,or stabbed in the back by a friend. An enemy will find it more difficult. Now you are getting it. Anyone can be killed. More likely by a friend, family members or a co worker than someone out on the streets. Yet even today, the majority of violent crimes are committed by people who know their victims. Between 1998 and 2002, for example, 54% of all violent crimes occurred between non-strangers.2 And for certain types of violent crimes, the percentage committed by non-strangers is much higher. In 2004, only 23% of murders3 and approximately 30% of sexual assaults were committed by strangers.4 Robbery is the only category of violent crime consistently committed more often by a stranger rather than by someone known to the victim.5 http://lawreview.wustl.edu/inprint/85/2/Hessick.pdf
