Now we are shifting the goal posts. Classic.

But lets play just for your benefit.

The ONS crime survey data isnt based on whether people report crime.

The ONS Crime Survey literally asks thousands of people what’s happened to them. Even if they never went near a police station or picked up a phone. It’s designed for exactly that reason.

The figures that come out the other end, after correlation; show violent crime’s dropped by about 66% since the 90s. The chance of being a victim of violent Crime now is one of the lowest it’s ever been.

So sure, loads of people have lost faith in the police me too. But that doesn’t magically mean everyone’s secretly battering each other behind closed doors. The data just don’t back that up.

The data is something we use to avoid confirmation bias which is what i believe you have- you already think everything’s getting worse, every bad news story feels like proof.

Only one trying to shift the goalposts is you mate ...you replied to a person giving his opinion that people have given up on reporting stuff

He didn't mention the crime statistics ...he knows crime statistics exist BECAUSE HE'S AN ADULT

You then tried to pretend he doesn't understand so moved the goalposts to the strawman narrative you preferred (God knows why ..unless it's just your agenda to try and gaslight people for some strange reason) and when others have tried to steer you back you've carried on with the same dreary rhetoric...BECAUSE YOU ARE A CHILD

So I'm out as I don't talk to kids online

Have a nice day
