DogofWar1 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 One thing I'll note on crime data, and using it to back anything, is that you have to demonstrate it is sufficiently accurate for the purpose it is being used for. I do not think the data is sufficiently good that we can decisively state anything with regards to race and crime rates. Consider, briefly, that in 2005, only about 25% of robbery cases were "solved." So when we see a statistic that among charged robbery cases, African Americans are disproportionately represented, will that hold through the remaining 75%? We ultimately have no way of knowing. However, acceptance of incomplete or bad data can lead to self-fulfilling prophecies. Start with "blacks commit more crimes." This leads to increased police presence in high black population areas, which leads to more blacks caught for crimes, which leads to statistics which back the idea that blacks commit more crimes. Example, if you think blacks will drive drunk more often, and therefore set up all your DUI checkpoints in high minority areas, does the subsequent end of year totaling mean anything, really? If police estimate they "solve" 10% of DUIs (this is a stat I just made up, btw), and their solved cases show disproportionately high black rates, but they are only checking high black areas, it would suggest an evening out over more "solved" cases. Further, we have to check biases at other levels, like with charges. Blacks are charged more often, okay, but that means any case where a suspect is identified but not charged isn't included. If there's a bias to not charge whites, for example, that could bias the data. And it can seem innocuous. A cop pulls over two people in a night. Both are two blocks from their house, and similarly drunk (we'll say .12, that is, over legal limit but not totally hammered). Cop arrests only the black guy, while letting the white guy drive the last two blocks. Suddenly the data is off. Until we can ensure that the collected data is not biased at some level, we have to be very wary of it. We don't need to totally discount it, after all, data is data; the USC Dornsife poll is consistently 6 points more in favor of Trump than the average, which looks bad but doesn't make it "bad," it just requires taking into account house effect. Problem is, data is incomplete and biases have not been examined and controlled for. We don't have tons of different data sets, we have one, with serious potential problems. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grego Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Dog- i think you bring up some interesting points. i have a couple of questions- not necessarily for you, just more of the thinking out loud variety. first, i wonder if the 'caught vs no caught perpetrator' thing has been dissected already. i did a couple of quick searches having to do with accuracy in crime statistics and couldnt find anything, but theres gotta be something out there. also, i've seen studies that talk about victim reporting, where the victims give a description of the perp, rather than it being a crime with no witnesses, and how its obviously more accurate for this sort of thing. i wonder if the stats weve been looking at are of that variety. second, i wonder if this is one of those things like a poll, where you get a certain random sampling of a small percentage of people, yet statistically it will be very close to what you would get if you were to survey an entire population. i have seen criticisms of studies, such as the roland fryer study, http://www.nber.org/papers/w22399?utm_campaign=ntw&utm_medium=email&utm_source=ntw which talk about police department reporting- since its voluntary, police departments are only potentially sharing what they voluntarily want to share. also, its only a few police departments- houston being the biggest one- so, is it representative of policing in the US as a whole? anyway, good stuff. if anyone has any more info on this, please post.

Soccer star Megan Rapinoe took a knee last week during the national anthem and said she'd do it again to draw attention to racial issues within the US. On Wednesday, the Washington Spirit didn't give her a chance. Team officials decided to play the anthem early, before Rapinoe, a member of the Seattle Reign, was on the field. "We decided to play the anthem in our stadium ahead of schedule rather than subject our fans and friends to the disrespect we feel such an act would represent," the team said in a statement. ...more at link.

Kaepernick never said he didnt support the troops. Huh? People jumping to conclusions about Kaep is totally different. In that situation, he never mentioned the troops etc. In this situation, Rapinoe HERSELF made it about 9/11. It's possible to support both Kaep and Rapinoe while also supporting the companies that are doing what they can in their own form of support of the flag, anthem, cops etc. But in this case, Rapinoe should keep her mouth shut. She sounds like a petulant child. Im reminded of Rick Monday preventing two guys from burning a flag, and Chris Gizzi running out with the flag after 9/11, and Whitney Houston performing the Anthem after the first Iraq war began. All of that is now lost. All of those people would be scorned by half the people in the US today. Sad. But go ahead Meghan Rapinoe, whine like a little kid because some mean owner took away your opportunity to grab the spotlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't missing anything. She doesn't respect the anthem, so they respectfully didn't play it in front of her. I assume the 9/11 reference came from her in response to the word "hijack".
