Raw numbers fluctuate a lot more than percentages do.  I would have chosen
a number that was meant to be the percentage, so...just use the percentage

The stockholders haven't been able to push this through yet, in most

those who only technically qualify and are far more "criminals"?  That's
why I have increased mental health treatment instead.
