Resposta:

people have learned more about laws and they started to report more crimes

Explicação:

Quando usamos o Past Perfect Continuous a ação mencionada foi finalizada pouco antes da outra ação acontecer. Já ao usarmos o Past Continuous a ação mencionada ainda estava acontecendo no momento em que a outra começou a acontecer.

ex: from 9 to 11, essa hora já acabou, he bought stuff at the mall, o verbo comprar fica no passado buy para bought, já que a ação já terminou

the dog was running, o cachorro estava correndo, before the rain started, antes da chuva começar,o cachorro estava fazendo algo,quando outra ação começou
