Hasn't Don B. Kates, Jr. been saying and researching, and writing this very

"David Kennedy, a professor at New York's John Jay College of Criminal
Justice, says the rise in criminals killing criminals has escaped the attention
of policymakers.
"'The notion that these (murders) are random bolts of lightning, which is
the commonly held image, is not the reality,' says Kennedy, who has examined
the backgrounds of murder suspects and victims in a number of U.S. cities.
"'It happens, but it doesn't happen often.'"
