Yeah, this whole study was fucked because they ignored the greatest category of crime.
If you think about crime, and you think of pickpockets, burglary, and mugging, your head is in your ass.
The biggest crime today is overwhelmingly wage theft and other white collar crimes.
Yup, my favorite white collar crime is "social murder".
