@futurebird The people I know believe crime is way up in other geographic areas. They have that perception based on news entertainment shows that highlite a horrible crime by an immigrant or person of color on a daily basis. Usually, it does not occur to them to wonder why similar crimes don't exist in their own geographic area. When they do notice, they chalk it up to the area's conservative values and strong police force which is not an accurate representation.
Sarcasm is all I have Left
