It has become a truism that we live in an age of information. However, the true scale of the data currently available to the average citizen can still inspire some measure of awe. Such may be the experience when scouting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)'s crime website, which features a staggering array of crime statistics from around the country. Here readers may examine the statistics for violent crime, property crime, and clearances (cases that are closed due to an arrest). They can also look up hate crime statistics and read about law enforcement officers who were killed or assaulted. And they can do all of this by state, city, or even small town. In addition, the Frequently Asked Questions section provides answers to such quandaries as How many police officers are employed in my city? and Are more people murdered by a stranger or by someone they know?
