Crab-like SNR are markers for recently formed pulsars. The current catalog of 15 objects allows a direct measure of the space distribution of pulsars, the beaming factor of pulsars, and the energetics at young pulsars. The 15 Crab-like SNR are equally divided between those with surroundings shells and those without. No other properties appear to correlate with the presence or lack of a shell. The ratio of 10 to 1 between all remnants and Crab-like remnants has important implications for the formation of pulsars.
