The problem is that the crime rate is measured by suspects, so if it is not a clear switch like in your case, it doesn’t help to know that the crime rate has fallen.
You also hadn’t developed general fears despite a lowering crime rate. You reacted with your unaltered fear level. It’s related but not the same.
I swear to God, I’m trying to understand what you mean but I’m not getting your point. What are you trying to say? What is the message you’re trying to convey?
I cannot make your statements relevant to the conversation and it sounds like you’re trying to make a point against crime data being powerful or correct so I’d like to understand your intent.
I would highly recommend everyone look up their statistical crime rates and realize how much safer the world is. That alone should quell a meaningful chunk of immigration fears imo, if the fears are rational and honest.
That doesn’t work. There are regularly messages to the population along those lines but they don’t convince because they are slightly missleading. Then the next arguments are that people don’t change because they are racist. That ends the discussion. However, the numbers have to be made solid first. This doesn’t happen for years which seems intentional to me.
E.g. the main number is number of suspects. Nobody takes it serious, especially about foreigners, because the police could be racist, and screen more foreigners. Maybe many were innocent and not convicted? But then, why not change the number?
That’s an encouraging anecdote.
