The amount of crime news in each of four Colorado newspapers varies independently of both the amount of crime in the state and the amount of crime news in the other newspapers. The data lend some support to the hypothesis that public opinion about crime trends reflects trends in the amount of crime news rather than in actual crime rates, but some of the evidence is inconclusive and some seems to contradict this hypothesis.
