Why/How do arrest rate statistics slant the public perception of the prevalence of youth violence?

the statistics exaggerate the problem of youth violence by representing the number of juveniles arrested for a violent crime, not the number of violent crimes committed by juveniles

the statistics exaggerate the problem of youth violence by making the denominator out of every 100 crimes as opposed to every 1000 crimes, like other statistical reports

the statistics understate the problem of youth violence by emphasizing the number of violent crimes instead of concentrating on the individual delinquents creating the crime

the statistics understate the problem of youth violence by dividing the crimes into smaller, more specified categories so as to make the numbers less significant

public perception is not slanted
