criminals are generally really dumb
- HappyJoy 2y agoIt's easy to commit a crime it's hard to get away with it - mostly.
- kelseyfrog 2y agoCatching a criminal is usually a much bigger story than not catching a criminal. And criminals that get caught are tautologically "dumb enough to get caught." We're biased to believe that criminals are dumb because we only catch the dumb ones.
- cr125rider 2y agoThe opposite of survivorship bias?
- deepserket 2y agoI would say it's an example of sampling or selection bias
- Teever 2y agoA lot of white collar criminals seem pretty smart. They get away with commiting their crimes in public for decades and society rewards them for it.
