But unless you did the study yourself, you are placing faith in an authority - in this case the researchers. Further, few of us move, or install home security devices, just because one neighbor's behavior is cause for concern. We have "faith" that the authorities will take care of it. And for that matter, we have faith that bureaucracy have paid the police with the dollars that our employer regularly docks from our checks.
