As I said before, a better understanding of violent crime which would effect the general populous is to omit sexual offenses and domestic abuse because of the majority of victim/offender familiarity.
I'm a little confused on your reasoning here. Aren't people who are sexually abused, and the people they know who did it part of the general population??

If you're saying overall violent crime statistics include so much that they aren't good measures of GUN crime, I get that, but I think it could be better said.

street crime for the average person is generally not committed against them by people with whom they are familiar; sexual offenses and domestic assaults generally are. if my personal life is in reasonable order, I'd be more concerned with what the violent crime stats are for street crime.
