That's true. And crime statistics aren't much more useful because willingness to report and how well the police handle filing differ a lot between cultures.

Most places also have data from crime surveys, so it's possible to make decent predictions about how much crime is reported or not.

The crime statistics themselves are very useful, there's no need to chuck them about because some level of crime goes unreported. Statisticians have long ago realised that we can measure this too.
