[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Typical of many discussions of crime. Perception is not reality. Cue someone posting that DC police don't ever take police reports seriously so statistics are meaningless.[/quote] Well, the reality is that people in Ward 3 who perceive that crime is getting worse are in fact correct, because they are experience higher violent crime. While people in the rest of the city are experience lower violent crime, which is what spurs comments like yours. It might be worthwhile to consider that there can actually be a factual basis that drives peoples perceptions.[/quote] Nobody is perceiving an increase of 0.6%. [/quote]
