The Educational Security Incidents Year in Review - 2007 is out. As Adam points out, not everyone cares that incidents were up 67.5%.

My guess is that the incidents have to make it to the news. Perhaps incidents are becoming less news-worthy.

Been a long time since I posted anything. I'm trying to get back into the swing.
