The media tends to work a bit like the fashion industry, every season they need a new trend, so suddenly they'll have a lot of stories on pedophiles and a few months later it's violent teenagers and then it's racism etc. They change their reporting (what's a headline and what is not, or even what gets reported) so people always think there's a 'sudden increase' or a 'recent trend', until the networks decide that people are probably bored with the current trend and move on to another.
Apparently violent carjackings are not the hype of the moment
