Mikl posted:Sweden? What the hell? Sweden's had an unusually high rape rate for a Western country since those statistics started being collected. This is most likely because Sweden has a wider definition of "rape" than most other countries and because rape is more likely to be reported there, and probably not because more rape is actually committed there than in other countries.

Same problem with std rates. I think I read somewhere that Canada has much worse rates of chlamydia or something than America even though it has more readily available health care. The answer was that better health care means better reporting as more people are going to the doctor.

In most countries, that would be one report/instance, but Sweden counts that as 20.

Which makes South Africa even more terrifying since according to stats a vast number of rapes do NOT get reported.

The very bottom of the scale is negative one rapes. Are people committing anti-rapes? What even is an anti-rape? Is it being a 40 year old virgin living in a basement who's never so much as touched a woman?

Students are hilariously weird some times. Couple days ago one asked me if when the protocol said "dilute the plasma 20 times" he really had to do it 20 times in a row. I really should have just said yes.

In most countries, that would be one report/instance, but Sweden counts that as 20. I don't think I believe that. Here in the US, that'd be 20 counts of rape, you don't get just charged once. I can't think of a country that counts rapes in the way you describe. What is counted differently seems to be gang rape; the US counts one incident for each victim, not one for each perpetrator. But if the numbers are due to that, then that's a *lot* of gang rape happening. But whatever the reason, there seems to be some dark poo poo going on in Sweden. Police in Ostersund are telling women not to go out at night alone because so many of them have been getting attacked. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3481882/Women-warned-not-night-Swedish-town-multiple-sex-attacks-foreigners.html#ixzz42LAkfb00 http://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/jamtland/polisen-varnar-kvinnor-i-ostersund-for-att-ga-ut Oh, Google translate, the fun we have: quote:The three police officers who attended the press conference says that they have never experienced anything similar in Östersund. This is also why they now go out and warn women to touch themselves in the center of Östersund in the late evenings and nights. Phanatic has a new favorite as of 17:55 on Mar 9, 2016 |

But if the numbers are due to that, then that's a *lot* of gang rape happening. Maybe I didn't use the right words; If a person rapes another several times over a period of time, say 14 times over 3 years, as a form of spousal abuse, that becomes 14 separate reports of rape. Apparently, Sweden seems to be one of the few (the only?) country that does this. I have no idea if the person that committed these 14 rapes would be charged for each one individually. It's not that one gang rape becomes six different rape cases because there were 6 people doing the gang raping. Yeah we have problems, but a lot of it is just sensationalistic fear mongering and fact immunity. Mostly tied to the xenophobic nationalist Swedish democrats. edit: read some more, yeah apparently gang rapes are counted once per perpetrator.

Does it just count rape/assault by penetration or all sexual assault crimes? Sweden's law banning the purchase of prostitution might have something to do with it if it's the latter.

TinTower posted:Does it just count rape/assault by penetration or all sexual assault crimes? It is also possible for a change in the dynamic during the act to transform it into non-consensual contact, such as the male running out of condoms but insisting that the act continue. In such a case the woman may call "consent under duress", which means that the yes she gives at the time will actually be a no by the time the people involved find themselves in court. The idea with all this is to ensure that no crime ever slips through the cracks, but despite this Swedish courts are still pretty bad at actually getting charges to stick. Our society is rather progressive, but the judiciary system is having trouble adapting to it. TinTower posted:Sweden's law banning the purchase of prostitution might have something to do with it if it's the latter. For now though I suggest that we drop the discussion, because it is bringing the thread down (and yes I know I participated in it, I apologise). The graph that originally started it reeks of mischievous misrepresentation anyway. Speaking of, have an example! Simply edit and replace the nation names as needed to win any online argument.

This thing is awful, just the worst. I honestly gave it a good long look and found some interesting trends, but the correlation is utterly worthless. Like median career pay to median age. Cool, looks like an opposing correlation there! Except there's no scale other than rank, so these numbers could be so loving close together this is coincidental. There's no telling whether this implies younger companies pay higher by mid career, or whether older companies paid a few cents less due to inflation. Another interesting but useless trend is Median Years with Company, % Female, and % High Job Satisfaction. Low median years should imply higher turnover, which correlates well with low job satisfaction. More women are getting into tech industry jobs as the years go on, so high turnover companies are likely hiring more women as the percentage of female applicants goes up. But the way it's placed on the graph, the creator wants to jam % Female between the obvious correlation to draw a totally unrelated point: Higher % Female = Lower job satisfaction. Lower % Female = higher job satisfaction! Wow, what's with women in the tech industry?!?

Triarii posted:Um the scale is pretty clearly labeled right there - it goes from LOWER to HIGHER. Also "Zero values indicate there was not enough data to determine a value". Since the height of the dots is just a rank rather than an actual numerical value there's no way of knowing if the lowest dot in any category means "sucks the worst" or "value unknown". In fact there's no way of knowing if several of the lowest dots in any given category are unknown values.
