Use appropriate language to describe crimes without fear of offence

Language is important. Language sways views. Language has the ability to minimise or maximise views. Language can be simple if backed up by statistics. Language can be clear and informative without being inflammatory. If statistics are inflammatory and not presented, this equates to a cover up.
