If you eliminated most of the UK murders on the basis they happened to

The point isn't eliminating people that don't count, but rather,
eliminating people who voluntarily place themselves in harm's way.

The law doesn't see it that way and neither do statisticians.

But in deciding where to live to be reasonably safe, it seems like it
might be relevant. Most murders aren't in fact random.
