Honestly I don't think there is any really significant increases in these things. It's just that shrinking (or shrunken) global communications allow us to hear more and faster than ever before. It's like the panic over and mistrust of air travel several years back... we seemed to be having more and more plane crashes for some unknown reason, but in reality it just turned out that there really weren't any more than before on average, they were just being reported and being heard about more often. These thing just have to be looked at objectively.
