So let's now worry about killings, bombings, rapings, etc because there's not so many of them, right? Don't be that naïve.

In the US, people call CPS or the police on ten year olds playing unsupervised in a park or walking home from school in perfectly safe suburbs and towns because they believe the children will be kidnapped, raped and murdered. So yes, it is possible to worry too much about rape and murder as well.
