This figure may be a substantial under estimate, for it is fairly common 
practice in some courts, when someone is charged with a serious victimless 
illegal act, to offer a plea bargain where he pleads guilty to a crime that 
in theory supposedly has a victim, despite the absence of any complainant, 
a crime somehow connected to theft, guns and violence, despite the absence 
of any specific identifiable person robbed or threatened by these guns or 
violence.
