You admitting quite freely that you have no education on the subject of crime statistics and reporting, you have no background in criminology and have never heard of any reports before today and taking a preliminary google search in 5 seconds

Its less a matter of "unreliable statistics" and more a matter of "pulling numbers completely out of a hat"
Nobody has the foggiest clue what the actual unreported rates are, and they're just guessing and making shit up
