That seems to mean something different than "less than 1 percent of total sex crimes are committed by refugees".
- etatoby 10y agoPrecisely. These articles are full of Bayesian conceptual mistakes like this. It's going to be hard to prove anything without the source figures.
- rndgermandude 10y agoThe original German article quoting the actual internal police paper is very clear that out of the "very low six digit figure" of total crimes committed by refugees, less than 1% of those "refugee crimes" were sex crimes. It does not in any way state the what chunk out of the total sex crimes were committed by refugees, indeed.
