We can see here that the crime statistics actually surprise me. These statistics are not entirely accurately represented in the media because the media tends to protect the image of the community.
Sometimes, media reports may misinterpret or oversimplify complex crime data, leading to misunderstandings or exaggerations about the actual crime rates. Statistics may be presented without appropriate context, leading to misconceptions.
Positive trends in crime reduction or successful crime prevention strategies might not receive as much coverage as negative or alarming crime statistics, leading to a disproportionate representation of crime-related news.
