Well if police statistics are to be even vaguely believed our reporting on crime in the press is extremely mininal and very biased given the demographics of the country. Have you ever read a Daily Sun newspaper? Or a community newspaper? Compare that to a major newspaper and see the difference in what stories get highlighted.
not the daily sun but the local newspaper for my community. Crime does exist but if there is a rape its a case of rape, not torture and rape (I actually see rape as torture in itself but for the benefit of this discussion I am separating the two). If there is a case of murder it's murder (usually some drunk @#% that stabbed some other drunk @#%, not torture and murder. You see what I mean?
