it is a catch-22.Reading that I was actually thinking the same thing, I wonder what percentage of crime is people known to each other and getting away with murder because of the high crime rate and the useless police.
How do you investigate a complete random stranger doing something? Very little to go on.
But when it is close to home, a lover, an ex, children going after parent's money, you have something to work with.
So 10 murders, 3 were family, you solve 2 of those 3. Miraculously with blind luck you solve 1 of the random killings.
So, what does the math tells us.
30% of murders are solved.
66% of murders solved were known perpetrators.
But in reality only 30% are known perps.
Stats can be twisted to tell you anything.
