criminal charges to whom? The owners?

16% (68) of all dog bite fatalities involved a babysitter, grandparent or relative watching a child, or the dog being "watched" by a person other than its owner when the canine inflicted a deadly attack.

For example: the city of Los Angeles has more criminal cases than the suburb of Pasadena, CA. Well, of course. If you’re comparing a city of 4 million people to a suburb of 150,000 people, the larger city is bound to have a lot more cases despite being considered “safer.”
