The federal Bureau of Justice Statistics once calculated , based on crime victimization rates from 1975 to 1984 , the lifetime chances of being raped , robbed , or assaulted .

These are the kind of numbers that the public , media , and lawmakers worried about in the ' 60s through ' 90s . Rates of violent crime and drug use , particularly during the crack cocaine epidemic of the 1980s , really were unusually high , as federal statistics show .
