But the police in NYC used lots of spotsearches to boost both the crime rate (they discovered and so "solved" the crime at the same time) AND their crimes solved rate simultaneously. (Until the courts stopped them.) Only if both those stats go up together are the police incentivized to boost the crime rate.
- ceejayoz 5y agoThat's why you pick specific stats that support your point, while pretending the others don't exist. Any time you see an oddly specific stat, you should question it a little. For example: https://twitter.com/dceiver/status/1493643563892150278 https://twitter.com/dceiver/status/1493643563892150278 "Shooting incidents are up 500% in an East Harlem precinct compared with last year" winds up describing going from one to six.
