From the sound of those who have played it, it is more violence then
stealth.

The game seems to think I was more violent than I was also. The list
of crimes after the first day showed eight people had been conked on
the head in South Quarter. However I am confident it was only four.
Harumph!

At least it's not seriously wrong -- reporting less than four would
be a serious error. Reporting more allows for the city to contain
more than just one blackjacker. The Plaza bloodbath has been noted ...
by the way, did anyone check the statistics after that? Perhaps that
chap who dosn't like being bumped into, and threatens to blackjack
you the next time it happens, became stuck in a crowd somewhere? 🙂

Are there stats in that district? I don't recall seeing any, only
posters of myself.

Manhunt is a sneaker? Anyone played it much? Opinions?

The stats in Stonemarket Plaza are in the ground floor of the tavern,
on the wall opposite the main entrance door (the one you see when you
enter from South Quarter. Not sure about the Stonemarket Proper one,
might be near the Watch post. By the looks of it, the stats for both
areas are combined.
