I'd argue that's still the case, and always has been, and likely always will be. I don't think there's a larger number of evil people intent on harming hitchhikers, just that it is a dangerous habit and the cases that end violently are the only ones that make the news. It's more that we're better educated about it now, and so less people are willing to hitch or pick up hitchhikers now

Are we better educated if it's almost always safe?
