You misunderstand. The relevant base rate for my comment is the sexual offence rate in the general population.

- wutbrodo 10y agoNo, that was precisely my point. That is very much _not_ the relevant base rate because we're discussing recidivism, which is meaningless for non-offenders. That's like saying that the pregnancy rate isn't that low for US women aged 60-65 when compared to all US adults of any age (including the half that are physically incapable of pregnancy).
