I don't know if there are statistics on these things, but I'd imagine that some of the time, a neighbor or someone nearby who hears or sees the crime is the one to report the crime to the police. Still, you're right; it's certainly less likely that the crime will be prosecuted if the victim doesn't cooperate.
Those statistics show that the more people their are nearby who hear or see the crime the less likely it is that the crime will be reported.
