I think in reality "rape" is just more of a news story than "car crash." Really seems obvious to me, actually. Car crashes happen by accident, rape and stabbing takes intention. People being intentionally run over also happens to be a news story usually, fwiw. "Crime" just sells more than "accident."
Like, a mechanic at your local shop losing a finger is a rare possibility, but unless you live in a small town where it was literally the only thing that happened this week it won't even be on your local news at 11 either, but if his coworker chases him around the shop and *cuts* his finger off you bet your ass it'll be covered by the tri-state area.
In any case I never claimed car crashes were a myth, I claimed that "crime has dropped to pre-pandemic levels" means there's still plenty crime, as there was pre-pandemic. You saying you'd leave *your* phone plugged in on the subway and walk to one of those "bathrooms?"
