one of the biggest reasons i'm not afraid of crime is that i don;t live in the us anymore, which at least keeps me from worrying so much about being randomly shot. i'm also not afraid of crime because i know that statistically,the chance of me being the victim of serious crime is exceedingly,exceedingly small. that's the case in the us,and that's the case here in thailand.
another reason i'm not afraid of being the victim of crime is that criminals, in general, are really stupid. i've been watching a lot of true crime shows on youtube lately. one of the biggest lessons you learn from watching crime shows like 48 hours and Dateline is that most people who commit crimes are probably not going to win any Nobel prizes,be in Mensa or even qualify for a grade school spelling bee.
