Those numbers were used with the intent to lead the reader. They are worthless without context, how they were derived, population they were taken from. The onus is on the author of the paper to support their validity. You know that stat about how a car is stolen every 5 seconds? What they don't tell you is that a high percentage of cars are stolen in the city... you can prolly leave your car unlocked in Lac La Biche all day long and nothing will happen... even in 10 seconds.
