A criminology expert calls it a “perfect storm”: fear is amplified by constant online noise, even though the data shows real progress. Ironically, those most scared—like the elderly—are least likely to be victims, while younger men, who feel less fear, are actually more at risk. Perception isn’t matching reality, but the numbers tell a different story. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
