(1) How accurate are the FBI's crime statistics? (2) First, these statistics reflect only those crimes reported
to local police departments, and it is estimated that only two out of every five crimes are officially known
to the police. (3) Second, because some types of crime are more likely to be reported than others are, the
statistics may not account for large numbers of crimes. (4) Murders and auto thefts are almost always
reported, whereas larceny1
and rape victims, whether out of embarrassment or fear, or other reasons, may
remain silent. (5) Third, the FBI's crime data include only eight types of criminal behavior, which means
that most white-collar2
crimes and drug crimes are excluded, despite the fact that their number is growing.
The general topic of this paragraph is
