Also, how it hasn't made citizens go berzerk and kill innocent people standing next to their cars, etc.
Any help is appriciated, I really can't think of where to start looking.

Hi Laurence,
You may want to Google "Castle Doctrine" and do a little studying.
The "CD" will not go into effect until Sept. 1st, so no one yet knows how it might impact "crime rates".
There are other states that employ the same law....and you might find something useful among their records.
The primary reason for wanting the CD was not to reduce crime rates (although that might be a by-product).
Google and read, you'll find plenty.
Good luck on your project.
