John, your message of hope and optimism is sorely needed. The overwhelming litany of frightening, disturbing news eats away at my own enduring optimism about the world we live in, but I keep plowing on. Fear of crime is likely a component of fear of victimization. The more I discover new threats, the less weight any one of them carries. I might not notice declines in crime rates, so having you out there reminding me helps me reevaluate my major fears. Many thanks!
