Great book on the topic:

Good example:
Let's say the statistic says for a given area, violent crime rose 27% over a 10 year period.
You leave out the inconvenient fact that the population rose 30% over the same period of time and the per capita RATE of violent crime is down.
That "#1 is Business Statistics" category says it all.
