One recent study of police records showed that the
number of crimes committed in 1990 rose 10 percent
over the previous year. Yet, another study showed
that the number of people who reported being
victims of a crime in 1990 rose 30 percent from the
previous year

Which one of the following resolves the apparent paradox?

A)People were more honest about the crimes
they committed in 1990 than in the previous
year.

B)The proportion of corporate crimes increased
from 1989 to 1990.

C)The number of criminals who were in turn
victimized themselves rose from 1989 to
1990.

D)The proportion of crimes that victimized
several people at once increased from 1989
to 1990

E)Because of worsening social conditions,
people felt more victimized in 1990 than in
1989

D)The proportion of crimes that victimized several people at once increased from 1989 to 1990

E)Because of worsening social conditions, people felt more victimized in 1990 than in 1989

Premise:
The rate of crimes is increasing slower than the rate of people who become crime victims.

Best explanation:

Crimes in 1990 affect more people at once as compared to crimes in 1989.
Option D thus works best to explain the given paradox.
