I reply to the right honourable gentleman with the answer I gave some moments ago:

"And as to city crime, such comparison is almost always about offenses known to the police. If Kitty Genovese didn't teach you that nobody reports a thing to NYC's cops, I'm wasting my time posting to you."

The UCR is based on police-reported offenses. Does anyone bother even reporting a larceny to New York cops? How about an assault? If nobody is calling cops over a woman getting KILLED, why bother with a small thing like a larceny?
