选项 A、When city police are perceived as unresponsive, victims of theft are less likely to report thefts to the police.
B、The mayor’s critics generally agree that police statistics concerning crime reports provide the most reliable available data on crime rates.

E、During the four years immediately preceding the reorganization, reports of all types of theft had been rising steadily in comparison to reports of other crimes.
