Crimes have to be reported and accepted as crimes to be considered crimes in crime statistics.

So the crime rate was probably even higher before smart phones and social media.

Maybe. But, I’ve filed several police reports in the past couple years. Things like car break-ins, firearm brandishing on the freeway, package theft with enough info to easily catch them, etc. no one ever calls back. It’s a good thing I don’t need “god” to be good haha.
