    Yeah, but ‘murder in America’ is still the top one. There is public concern over crime because the media makes us concerned by making every murder a major story.

      To be fair, murder should be a major story. It’s a serious crime, and it’s probably a life defining story for many people related to the victim (and even those related to the suspect).
