Catching a criminal is usually a much bigger story than not catching a criminal. And criminals that get caught are tautologically "dumb enough to get caught."

We're biased to believe that criminals are dumb because we only catch the dumb ones.

The opposite of survivorship bias?

I would say it's an example of sampling or selection bias

A lot of white collar criminals seem pretty smart. They get away with commiting their crimes in public for decades and society rewards them for it.

It's easy to commit a crime it's hard to get away with it - mostly.
