This study is based on reported crimes. It might be that Nevada residents are
simply more inclined to call the police, becouse they are more likely to get
a favorable response.
I would like to see a study based on muder alone. making (robbery, aggravated
assault, burglary and motor vehicle theft ) equaly blanced is problematic
IMO. I suggest that a Nevada or Texa resident is much more likely to report a
robbery than a New York resident where roberies are daily occurences and the
perpitrator is seldome found. -Murder is a crime which can not go
unreported.-
