PDF - http://www.pavpub.com/pavpub/journals/CSJ/thismonthssample.pdf
Chris Fox ; Samantha Mackay ; Tim Hope
"This article summarises and discusses the main findings from a recently completed Independent Review of Crime Statistics. The Review focused upon the use of crime statistics and their fitness for purpose with particular attention paid to the needs of 'the public'. The main conclusion was that the ongoing development of crime statistics is hampered by a confusion of means (technical discussions about crime statistics that focus on their interpretation and reliability) and ends (conceptual discussions about the purposes and interests of different groups in using crime statistics). [This work was commissioned by the Statistics Commission and the published reporttogether with the Statistics Commission’s own report is available on their website (www.statscom.org.uk).]

[USA] STUDY: MEDIA RARELY NOTES WHEN ALCOHOL PLAYS ROLE IN VIOLENT CRIMES AND ACCIDENTS / Research News, 23 Oct 2006
http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/medialc.htm
"The news media seriously underreport the role alcohol plays in violent crimes, injuries and traffic accidents, according to a new national study. While alcohol is believed to play a role in about one-third of homicides and fatal motor vehicle accidents, media reports linked alcohol to specific accidents or crimes significantly less frequently. [..] Results appear in the November 2006 issue of the Journal of Studies on Alcohol."
