The problem goes beyond access. In many countries, the way data is collected or categorised can distort the reality they claim to measure. Crime statistics have been repeatedly reshaped by governments to influence public perception. In Queensland, Australia, for example, changes to the classification of “minor” versus “serious” offences under the Liberal-National Party coalition government created a new statistical baseline that made crime trends appear more favourable.
