The media in general often used to put the fear of God into us over the latest crime trends, especially back in the 90s and much of the 2000s.

And I don't necessarily think it's got anything to do with fewer plods either.
That works in your favour though? You won't be able to seek out crime stats which are a real trigger for your anxiety.
