But, it doesn't erase the fact that there are demographic trends in the population of felony offenders just as there are trends in the types of offenses committed, where they are committed, and who the victims are for the victim-based offenses (routine activities-based).
The above fact is another reason why research is important. "Common sense" means very little and people's "common sense" often doesn't reflect reality.
