@cmuratori maybe it's just bad math and they are counting # of arrests / total population?
This can't be accurate, can it? Over 1/3rd of _all_ men in the US are arrested by the time they're 23?? http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2014-01/uosc-sho010314.php …

@cmuratori Satistically you would find 1 out of 3 people to have been arrested. If that's not the case (...) -
@cmuratori (...) If that's not the case, then there should be entire towns or cities where everyone has been arrested at least once

@cmuratori Sounds absurd, can't find study online, but researchers seem legit http://www.albany.edu/bushway_research/publication_topics.htm … & doesn't sound like misrepresentation. -
@nothings@cmuratori I can accept a third of *some populations*, but a third *on average* seems absurd. - Show replies

@cmuratori@dmoore general male population: "risk of arrest by age 23 was 30%, with nonresponse bounds [25.3%, 41.4%]" (link from@lgroeni) -
@cmuratori@DMoore@lgroeni (That's me going "hooray, someone reports non-response rates instead of assuming a distribution for 'em".)
