Some interesting points include:

Despite a local tv news station under reporting city crime; over reporting suburb crime; and under reporting the race of offenders in the city and suburbs; suburbanites still conclude that the city is to be feared and African Americans in the city are to be feared.

A possible explanation is that the news channel heavily emphasizes that it is a CITY (Baltimore) news channel so therefore any crime reported via that channel is presumed to be in the city.

Those suburbanites who watch the news regularly are more likely to fear crime in the city and to decrease the amount of time they spend in the city - shopping, dining, seeings shows - to the detriment of the city economy.


Relevant to:
I wonder if suburban visitors in the Elmwood Village area has decreased due to the installation of the security cameras. It would be easy for someone in the suburbs who follows the news to conclude that crime must be out of control in this area of town if it now requires 24-7 monitoring. Any thoughts on how the 24-7 cameras might be negatively impacting the city's economy?

I was surprised by the article regarding the convicted offender who struck again. Not because he struck again, but because historically, an offender from the suburb serves time in prison and is then released to the city into a halfway shelter or some treatment program that suburbs refuse to allow to exist in their towns. So the city ends up with more than its fair share of convicted sex offenders and sex offenders have the highest recidivism rates of all.

The suburbs should be forced to keep their sex offenders and provide treatment for them instead of dumping them in the city.

But now the cities are fighting back and enacting laws making it stricter for sex offenders to live in the city, so they're now going underground in the suburbs. Interesting.
