It’s waaaaaaay less than half. And it only gets to half because you “need” a police report for many insurance claims that are crime related. Robbery, injuries, vandalism, etc.
Generally-speaking, people in the US are more-concerned about crime than last year, and generally-speaking, over time, each year, believe that crime is up.
Overall, crime has actually pretty substantially fallen over the past three decades.
I am really disappointed in how crime is reported in the US. I think it contributes to the lack of police reform. If the average person actually had a good picture of what is going on, including with policing, we could have such a better situation in the US. More folks would be pushing for effective law enforcement reform.
