You
The lessons mention 'the dark figure of crime'. What does that mean in practical terms?
AI Tutor
That's a great question. The dark figure of crime refers to all the crimes that are never reported to or recorded by police. This means official crime statistics only show part of the picture. For example, things like minor thefts or some assaults are often underrepresented. Would you like me to explain the reasons why some crimes are less likely to be reported?
