IT IS apparently true the world over that crime rates are much higher in city areas than in the country. Sorokin and Zimmerman' present a variety of material from the criminal statistics of sixteen countries of the world and the United States, before 1930, which multiply the evidence on which this conclusion is based, but show no significant reversal of relationship. Somewhat more recently Burchardt 2 has made a similar survey with the same general results. Many other studies picture in various ways the same general situation.3 Such general statistical analyses are, of course, subject to many limitations. Different indices of crime have been used sometimes without uniformity in standardization, and the areas or jurisdictions called or urban have not always been uniform or entirely consistent in meaning. Criminal statistics result from the activity of government agents in dealing with crime and criminals. Police and other such agents tend to be located in, and to operate in, cities, while in the open country the aphorism is more or less true that every person is a policeman. The result is a situation in which behavior in the country in all probability comes under much greater informal control of the opinions and disapprovals of the neighbors than is the case in the relative anonymity of the city, but where, nevertheless, official action and formal reporting of misdeeds are less likely to take place. All such omissions and oversights will, of course, tend to make the figures for rural areas disproportionately low
