Individual crime stories were once a local matter, but since 1982 with cable news hundreds of stories a day pile up on the national news. Even as crime rates fall we perceive as going up. It is the same with food scares, balloon boys, celebrity coke stories, school and workplace shootings and on and on.
All this embellished fear should scare your pants off!
