I question the researcher’s application of their literature and their methodology. I didn’t once question the validity of the references. I know that they referenced the IACP policies and the like, what I don’t know is exactly how they applied the IACP policies and their other research in their classification…

The point is that if we were to focus entirely on the 8% cases are false statistic, then the arguement could be flipped. The latest publicly available statistic puts the conviction rate of rape cases at about 8%, give or take depending on the year.

The references provides the IACP policies, it does NOT provide their classification method. Nor does it explain how they combined the IACP policies, their interview questions, and their literature review to create their own classification criteria.

Alcohol bath!

Let me get this straight, you are willing to write about Palmer Luckey providing financial backing for the Trump presidential campaign, but you are unwilling to write about the leaked CON chat logs that reveal that Feminist Frequency is funding a criminal organization?

I fail to see where Caucasian is mentioned.

That is a subjective judgement call that can not be made. One might as well ask why anyone makes a false report. No answers can be given on behalf of the people who do such things.

Believe 20 year old statistics if you wish, but just be aware that the statistic is extremely misleading due to the fact that it only counts cases where an overwhelming amount of evidence was found solely during the investigation process to close the case as false.

The police investigators aren’t going to sit around and watch them classify 136 case files. What typically happens during meetings like these is that the researchers will go through specific questions regarding anything they feel they need clarification, and once the meeting is done the researchers will take their new…

Not necessarily, but that requires reading through the whole court proceedings and determining which cases was so bat-shit that it was impossible for the crime to have occurred, or if it was possible but there isn’t sufficient evidence.

Incorrect. Nothing in the methodology suggests that the researchers discussed their findings with the police officers. The only thing explicitly mentioned is that the researchers met with 2 police investigators and asked questions to help classify any case that they were still unable to classify after having done a…

I don’t think anyone said that.

The criminal justice professionals didn’t conduct the experiment. They only provided the case files and the guidelines, everything else was done entirely by the researchers.

That statistic only covers cases that were found to be baseless and thrown out from the outset. It does not cover a whole bunch of other stuff, including but not limited to the alleged victim withdrawing the report, cases that went to trial and the accused was acquitted, cases where the accused was found guilty and…

Not good enough without expert training, especially when the guidelines are meant to just aide the investigation process as opposed to providing definitive classifications.

As a survivor of relationship abuse at the hands of a woman, I will not allow this to stand.

That statistic is a lie. The FBI never made such a claim. That statistic was traced back to a 2009 study that used crime data from a single police department in a single county.

Yes, guidelines. Guidelines that are meant to aide law enforcement during investigations whilst the criminal justice system runs its full course towards determining if a crime was committed, or if a report was false, or whatever else it could be. The researchers took those guidelines and then went about determining…

I think her face is quite good for the Major. I was able to imagine the resemblance the instant she was announced for the role, before images were released.

Are you seriously making light of male sexual assault victims?
