Age, Sex, Indigenous/Non Indigenous, Country of Birth. <br /><br />Unfortunately nothing that could be used to support a truly political incorrect analysis like marital status of parents.<br /><br />Interestingly, the average age of prisoners was 33.4. I was expecting younger. <br /><br />I'd love to see a study that looked at the % of the adult population that comes from non-nuclear families. What % of that end up in prison. Then combine that with the current % of the non-adult that come from a non-nuclear family to determine just how mnay new jails we will have to build... would we have to get started now?<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-69519554029748095782010-06-16T21:12:58.649+10:002010-06-16T21:12:58.649+10:00Tom Gray asks about Australian figures re crime.

The politicalization of science has been accompanied by a degradation of the scientific method itself, and this "study" is a prime example. One of the effects of affirmative action, i.e. promotion for political reasons, has been the elevation of lower IQ people into positions that require an above average IQ. <br /><br />Combine Marxist "end justifies the means" mindset in social research with substandard thinkers and the result is junk science. I quit taking "studies" as truth years ago after encountering this in a different social study (violence and crime). No study can be regarded with any trust until the underlying assumptions are examined and, as Mark Richardson has done, careful examination of the data set(s). <br /><br />Unfortunately, the MSM has been cherry picking "studies" for 40 years now...just ask Charles Murray about the treatment of his book "The Bell Curve".Anonymous Protestantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-27465130212050904472010-06-15T14:51:50.849+10:002010-06-15T14:51:50.849+10:00Hi Mark,

So Louise is on the right track in suggesting that the study is a relatively small sample. Another distortion is that 93% of the lesbian couples were white compared to 67% of the heterosexuals - therefore avoiding some of the greater family instability that exists in some other ethnic groups.Mark Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961688379656119701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-74445282932761083332010-06-14T23:23:54.765+10:002010-06-14T23:23:54.765+10:00Randian,

I know a lesbian who says that deliberate underearning ("downwardly mobile" she called it) was the norm in the lesbian community she knew (in San Francisco, btw). Being on the upwardly mobile fast track was seen as giving in to patriarchal norms, so it was shunned as being "unlesbian".
