The power of format creates opportunities for manipulation, which 
people with an axe to grind know how to exploit. Slovic and his 
colleagues cite an article that states that "approximately 1,000 
homicides a year are committed nationwide by seriously mentally ill 
individuals who are not taking their medication:' Another way of 
expressing the same fact is that "1,000 out of 273,OOO,OOO Americans 
will die in this manner each year:' Another is that "the annual 
likelihood of being killed by such an individual is approximately 
0.00036%:' Still another: "1,000 Americans will die in this manner 
each year, or less than one-thirtieth the number who will die of 
suicide and about one-fourth the number who will die of laryngeal 
cancer:'  Slovic points out that "these advocates are quite open 
about their motivation: they want [soc] to frighten the general 
public about violence by people with mental disorder, in the hope 
that this fear will translate into increased funding for mental 
health services:'
