As I said, "This data is from the National Crime Victimization Survey, which directly asks respondents if they have been the victim of a crime, and is not based on police reports or prosecutions." The NCVS results, as far as I am aware, match every other attempt to estimate the prevalence of crime over time. They are also consistent across property crime, violent crime, and other types.
You may be noticing these issues more, but that's because you're older and have seen more examples over the years, and perhaps have gotten more invested in your community -- not because they are universally more common across the country.

- 77777 6y agoI didn't say they were universally more common across the country. I am talking about my experience with living in New York. I am talking about seeing people constantly masturbating in the subway, having not seen that 10 years ago when I moved to New York. I am sure I would have noticed that. If you take the stats you cite as truth, I don't know how you square these stats with the contents of the original post itself. As you know, stats represent a sample. Beyond the sample, there is reality.
