Decades ago a college age woman didn’t have to be in fear of her life being out late at night with friends. Today, she better be.
Except that none of this is true. All serious crimes; murder, rape, robbery, assault, and, yes, even child abductions (committed by strangers) are the lowest they've been since 1963.
A "fear" of crime is at an all-time high.
Drew, we have seen evidence of reclassification of crime downward. I don’t trust those statistics at all.
I know the big headline is safer streets... are you really buying that?
I’ve never heard of so many abductions and killings.
There’s a new one on the news every night, but the stats are supposed to be lower than ever. It just doesn’t compute.
