I have the rare distinction of being both a former Peace Corps Volunteer and a former Dayton Daily News journalist. Rather than reading a computer-game troll for a journalism prize such as this series, I'm sure the paper's readers would be more interested in knowing about the nine confirmed domestic-abuse homicides in Dayton this year, and the 12 or more suspected ones (among many more homicides in town, to be sure), or some exposure of the local white-on-Latino friction in Dayton neighborhoods, subjects that don't lend themselves to database games. As for safety on Peace Corps sites, that's a quality that comes from training and common sense. The only difference from a Dayton rape and one in, say, Botswana, is that the Dayton Daily News is more likely to report the one in Botswana.
