public opinion about crime  

Definición

  • Hundreds of research studies that have examined a wide range of topics on public perception about crime support the conclusion that citizens generally are not well-informed about this issue. For example, the public perceived that crime rates for several different types of crime were increasing during times when in fact those crime rates were decreasing or remaining stable.
