No one can predict solely on the basis of past data exactly where crime will occur in the future. Criminals have cars or can steal them and are not restricted by where they live or work. Not all crime is reported to the police. As much as 50 percent of some types of crime may go unreported. Some people don't report crimes they consider minor .
People are often most afraid of crimes committed by strangers.
However, many crimes are committed by friends, acquaintances, and family members. Most importantly, many things that may make you feel unsafe don't get included in crime statistics. Everyone is different. You may feel uncomfortable in places that are poorly lighted at night, or where there is a lot of noise, or where people hang out on street corners and ask for money. None of this shows up in our crime data.
