    The answer would be:

    It confuses correlation with causation.

    Correlation is when something is related but not caused by somthing else, causation states that something is caused by the movement of something else, if you pass the law and then the robberies happend there is some correlation to some grade, but not causation, because you can't prove that the law caused the robberies.
