Today over 60% of all incidents are not reported in and/or recorded.
• There are four main reasons why people do not report their victimization to the police.
1. They don't want anyone to know: Emotional distress has a major influence on the behavior of crime victims, including whether the victim reports the crime at all. Emotions such as anxiety, shame and depression can prompt people to keep the crime hidden or to refuse to seek help from other sources, such as counselors or family members. Generally, victims are more likely to call the police when their crimes result in physical injuries that cannot be kept secret.
2. Fear of reprisal: Reporting a crime puts the victim into contact with the criminal justice system and potentially with the perpetrator, which can be scary. Many victims who fail to report their experiences do so because they worry about the repercussions or they do not want to get the perpetrator into trouble. Victims of s*xual assault and domestic violence often cite fear of reprisal as a reason for keeping their silence.
3. Believing the police could not or would not do anything: Victims who have little faith in the police system, believing it to be ineffective or inefficient, are less likely to report the crime.
4. Believing the crime is too trivial to report: Over 78 percent of vehicle thefts were reported to the police in 2018, but only 28.6 percent of petty theft crimes, such as taking cash without the victim’s immediate knowledge. This suggests that people have a perception of a hierarchy of crimes and so are much less likely to report minor crimes – those they do not believe are important enough to take to the police. The perceived “triviality” of a crime, personal connection to the culprit or fear of ongoing repercussions are among some of the key reasons why serious crimes often go by unprosecuted. Some victims are so convinced by the seeming invincibility of today’s top criminal attorneys they consider it largely a futile exercise to prosecute offenders – and a costly one, too.
