问题     According to a Gallup poll (民意调查) in 2001, Americans, for the first time in twelve years, believe that there was less violent crime that year than the year before. To be sure, many said that there were areas near their homes where they were still【S1】______walk at night. And a number of people【S2】______having their car stolen or their home burglarized. So far, we are only talking about people’s【S3】______about crime—what they believe to be the case. How closely do people’s perceptions【S4】______reality? Well, let’s look at some statistics. When we compare crime statistics between 1994 and 2001, we see that【S5】______homicide, rape, arson, and aggravated assault fell 52 percent.

Some experts【S7】______this drop in crime to demographics (人口状况). The U.S. population is getting older, and older people【S8】______fewer crimes than younger people. At the same time, in recent years there has been【S9】______law enforcement in cities like New York and Boston, and very stringent penalties have been【S10】______repeat offenders in general.
