Dr Laura Edwards @lauraedwards33.bsky.social · 03/08/2025Ok - It appears the crimes excluded are those where the populations are harder/more complicated to survey. So it’s a fair point to say the survey has limitations but I think a clear trend is still very obvious and arguing the survey doesn’t reflect reality is a bit of a stretch. 100
