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.
