This drug called mary jay and her lesbian sister lucy <| sep |> Pure bullshit , these quotas are completely worthless . I agree that the numbers come across as alarmist , even outrageous . However , I have not yet found the mistake in the author ' s method . AFAIU , the tables ' author created the fraction of the number of suspects of a certain nationality and the total population of that nationality . To make them less unwieldy , he multiplied those fractions with a constant sometimes 10 , 000 , sometimes 100 , 000 or 1 , 000 . That ' s not unusual and in fact the norm in crime statistics . Could you please make a suggestion about how we should produce comparable quotas instead ? The whole thing is also not an official statistic , the numbers for specific crimes are wrongNo , it isn ' t an official statistic and does even declare not being one . However , the numbers appear to be derived indeed from the official statistic , which I found . and the official statistic is about suspects , not convicted criminals . The table ' s author is comparing the rates of suspects for different crimes . One might argue that unless conviction rates differ significantly between various nationalities , that those numbers might be used to get a notion of the actual crime rates .
