In reality there was no [blank_start]evidence[blank_end] of a significant [blank_start]increase[blank_end] in this crime at the time. The myth of the [blank_start]young black mugger[blank_end] was used as a scapegoat in order to [blank_start]distract[blank_end] the attention from the [blank_start]true cause[blank_end] of society's problems e.g. [blank_start]unemployment.[blank_end]
