ajzodiac, you asked in a now-locked thread how likely it is that a person will report a crime to the police.
There are actually studies done and statistics gathered annually by the FBI and the Bureau of Justice Statistics, and by Pew Research Center, on crime reporting. You might want to check the following sites out:
Pew Research Center: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/10/17/facts-about-crime-in-the-u-s/
Bureau of Justice Statistics: https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=tp&tid=96
FBI: https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/ucr/publications#crime-in the U.S.
In 2018, for example, the Bureau of Justice Statistics found that only 43% of violent crimes were reported to the police and only about one-third of property crimes were reported.
These studies and statistics do not tell you what any one individual will do in any one situation, of course, but they do indicate the overall likelihood of someone reporting a particular crime, whether it be a misdemeanor or a felony.
