Not many women are ready to kill their boyfriends in any given situation. Many of them aren't even ready to report their crimes. And ccw and kali might prove next to useless when caught completely off guard by someone you trust.

I wouldn't say violent crime is through the roof, especially when you do a comparative study. ("Through the roof," at least, is a bit of an exaggeration.) I'm sure the CD will help with some crime, but only a small proportion of it.
