Open season on predators
Sunday, July 09, 2006

By Torsten Ove, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The most recent study by David Finkelhor, a Point Breeze native who heads the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire, shows that 91 percent of suspects are white men with full-time jobs.

"The people that law enforcement are accessing tend to be your white-collar technical people," says Mr. Finkelhor. "Minorities are not as represented in that group."


Many are married, too, and police have noticed that in most cases, women stand by their husbands throughout a prosecution.


http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06190/704503-84.stm

kind of surprising. I would imagine most women would be pretty disgusted by this.


These are American statistics, not global ones?
In 2005, 74.7% of Americans were defined as "White." Why would it be surprising that a very high percentage of online sexual predators are white?
I really hope you're not trying to make a point about Westerners vs. Asians using these statistics.

Listen dude.
I hope you can follow logic.
You came here with a poorly substantiated study about how american women would stand by their husbands DURING legal proceedings for pedophilia.

I asked you how that is any different than akorean women who stays with their man through repeated beatings. I said that because it happens a lot here.

If you want to be ignorant enough to think that korean women don't generally put up with physical abuse, then youi're the idiot.

The fact that you brought in that crap about women standing by when their children talk to strangers on the internet proves you are an idiot.

ah finally something worth talking about.

its actually 70%.

online population of whites in the US is also about 70% as well.

normally, for it to be statistically normally distributed and by chance, it should be within 1 standard deviation of 5%. meaning if it was 65-75%, then it would be normal.

But 91% would mean a Standard deviation of 4+. which would mean, for it to be naturally 91% by chance, would mean a 1 in 10,000 chance.

There is something else going on here. Its not random that whites in America are overrepresented like this. There's only a 1 in 10,000 chance these numbers are this high by chance.

a reason for the correlation has not yet been determined. only that it seems to exist.

Um. JAD. Most abused women, IN ANY COUNTRY OF ANY NATIONALITY who are being abused (physically, or emotionally, or psychologically) DO in fact put up with it for far too long! Once they get caught in abuse, it's very hard to leave--FOR ANY WOMAN.

Heck, even men get be abused, and it's hard for them to leave, too. Same is true in same-sex relationships, lesbian or gay.

PLEASE do not tell me you don't think abuse is a problem in Korea. It's an accepted "family matter" to beat your wife or kids here. There are organizations which help women, indeed, but it is still a problem. Just like it is anywhere. And the kids--well, nobody seems to care if kids are getting beaten.

Your original post was about surprise that women put up with accused pedophile family members. YOU specified "American." We're simply saying that sticking with men who are screwed up (pedophiles, abusers, etc) is NOT just an "American" thing.

Also, LOTS of kids talk to strangers on the internet that are not pedophiles. I chatted with other people my age since I first got on the internet at 15 and my parents knew it. We were one of the first families to have Net in the neighboorhood. Had I only been allowed to talk to real life friends, it would have been very lonley.

Furthermore, it's a bit harder to know if your kid is talking to a predator on the internet than to know if YOU or your children are being abused.

Korea's rate and America's rate are about the same.

What makes me think women put up with it? Cause they do. Just like abused Western women. If you think otherwise, well, I can't help it. You're just wrong.

I'm afraid any further explanation of your flawed statistical analysis would be quite lost on you so i'm not even going to bother.

Hopefully someone else has the stamina to get through your thick skull.

And, Korean women don't put up with it? hahaha!
