The Bureau of Labor Statistics routinely ranks pizza delivery as one of America’s most dangerous jobs. Facing this kind of risk, how can we possibly expect people to go out there and drive our food around?

In some sense, it’s remarkable that jacking delivery drivers is a relatively new crime. It’s only been in the past decade or so that reports started funneling in; over the last few years these incidents have skyrocketed. In 2014 alone, at least 20 pizza delivery drivers were shot in the US. Ronald Strehle, a crime prevention officer with the Dayton (OH) Police Department, says things first started to go south back in 2010.
