Statistics without numbers

The daily newspaper Der Standard writes that the Austrian police force has performed an amazing feat in holding a press conference without citing any numbers whatsoever: "It completely ignored the fact the general public might be interested to know whether it is now more frequently the victim of crimes than in the past. Instead [the police] tried to explain why which offences are recorded in this or that database - revealing a number of other peculiarities in the act. Regardless of whether it is true that, as the former director of Austria's Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigation Herwig Haidinger claims, the methods for calculating the number [of crimes] have been changed to suit the cabinet's wishes, one thing must be said: in order to effectively counter the accusations of manipulation the police must make all the figures public. ... Whether the individual has an overview of the situation is neither here nor there. But that those in charge simply refuse to make this data public at a time when rumours are rife is worse than just unprofessional."
