On The Bill Martinez Show: To Discuss The Truth about the Crime Explosion

Dr. John Lott appeared on The Bill Martinez Show to discuss the misunderstanding of what the crime statistics measure and the hiding of the rise in crime. The American people are being misled on crime statistics because many property crimes are being underreported, and the most common reason for not reporting is that most victims believe that charges will not be filed.
