It’s difficult for us to grasp statistics. So we hear about every crime being committed under the sun in London, from murder to rape to robbery… statistically the boonie smaller towns and cities are more dangerous but it doesn’t “feel” like it.

Statistically, women are more likely to be assaulted by men they personally know, but they “feel” afraid of random strangers walking by. Probably because of movies and other media, and stories and anecdotes we’ve all heard.
