Did they adjust for dumber criminals being more likely to be caught?

How does one adjust for uncaught criminals?

Get a control group of smart people and have them start doing crimes and see if they get caught.

We call this “financialization”.

Elapsed time between crime and capture might be a good regressor.

Chronic unsolved crimes gets some of it at least. If say, thirty percent of murders are cold cases then you know they aren't all getting caught. Other constraints would hint at the possible count potential murderers. If two people are killed on the same day two days of travel apart then you have at least two murderers.

That doesn't help with estimating levels of non-detected crimes of course.
