I live in a region with a real low rate and most of the cases in the news involve people that know each other. I've thought about trying to gather a profile of each incident, working back through time, to try to get a picture of the statistics rather than just relying on my impression. Of course, on top of being a fair amount of work, there are also issues with what sorts of information is ethical to consolidate like that (and especially, names of accused; my driving interest is the relationship statistics, so that is a core issue).
