2011 England Riots: Statistics of Ethnicity
- ZeroGravitas 15y agoNot very convincing, particularly the way the home addresses of a small number of individuals arrested have been turned in to large areas, the conflation of "those arrested" and "those responsible" and some dodgy interpretation of the data presented that seems to blatantly ignore evidence that contradicts the thesis.
- Hinonde 15y agoZeroGravitas, that is not a small number of addresses: http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01970/London_1970922a.jpg http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01970/London_197... - there is a formidable concentration of addresses in the large areas. The outliers should have been removed, probably. There is a major correlation between "those arrested" and "those responsible", unless you believe selective arrests by race took place. Indeed, it would have been better if it was possible to discriminate between those who broke in and those who looted. "Some dodgy interpretation" is a dodgy criticism itself. What evidence is contradicted?
