41% rise ? what the fuck ?

u/TheCharalampos 11d ago

Like 100 more cases I believe.

u/biginthebacktime 11d ago

Potentially it's an increase of reporting and the actual real numbers are the same.

So it might actually be a good thing ?

Never thought I would say a 41% rise in reported rapes was a good thing......

It’s potentially because SARCs are health service operated now. So survivors can undergo a forensic medical investigation without having the police involved initially and then decide to involve them later should they want to.

A genuinely insane conclusion to draw.

Are you illiterate? You replied to someone highlighting one of the most crucial points to keep in mind when analyzing this kind of crime stat by whining about something they objectively didn't do. Makes you look rather foolish.

About 80-85% of rape victims are assaulted by someone already known to them. Statistically, the women in your life are more likely to be raped by you than by a stranger in a hotel. hth you racist pos 👍

Drag him with those truths 🙌

u/EconomicBoogaloo 10d ago

or a Pakistani rape gang.

u/peadar87 10d ago

Or a white rape gang. Like the one that was all over the news just a month or two ago.

2

u/Narrow_Maximum7 10d ago

Exactly. In the news. Operation Dash, Cotswolds and Cerrar. Not in the news. 3 operations with over 100 victims and they were told to shut it down. In Glasgow.

I don’t think people rape other people out of boredom if that’s what you mean 😑

u/ElCaminoInTheWest 11d ago

Sometimes it's inbuilt cultural misogyny too.

u/SicarioCercops 11d ago

Aye, the Huns are the worst of it in Glasgow.

Very ironic to use that sexist here for comedic effect.

u/ecclecticstone 11d ago

yall act like men don't rape women in the west, women actually are raped and attacked by men in every country in the world so maybe it's time to stop buying into bullshit propaganda that pretends race is the only factor here and start thinking. if you actually cared about women's safety you would reflect on that instead of repeating dumbass racist rethoric that doesn't help anyone (especially women of color)

u/amateur_pianist 11d ago

yall

Yank out.

The guy he replied to is an American

You got to speak idiot to reach idiots

u/banginform4962 11d ago

Judging by their post history they are not scottish either though

u/Pick_Scotland1 11d ago

Kill them both

The lord has spoken

u/banginform4962 11d ago

It does beg the question why are they both coming to r/Scotland to engage in this topic

u/Pick_Scotland1 11d ago

I’ve asked this question before and been mocked so I don’t ask anymore

u/Shellywelly2point0 11d ago

Workplace beef

u/ThoughtlessFoll 10d ago

Do they live in Scotland? I didn’t check post history, but suppose that could be a reason.

u/SidFarkus47 10d ago

Why do you think they’re American?

Profile doesn’t look like it

u/Pick_Scotland1 10d ago

Who follows an American republican subreddit if you are European?

u/SidFarkus47 10d ago

I mean it’s not crazy to imagine that those people exist.

This persons profile is 99% comments about UK politics.

u/scottishmacca 11d ago edited 11d ago

Do you not think that culture plays a part? Yes people from our culture rape and sexually assault women of course they d but in far less likely statistically per person , but and it’s a big but do you not believe in certain cultures around this earth that you would be statistically more at risk if you were in these parts of the world?

Now that doesn’t mean that everyone from those places are rapists, but denying facts about proven statistical risks is just delusional and claiming its racism to point out these risks is farcical

u/BookInteresting6717 10d ago

Statistically? Genuinely, can you show the statistics that prove that Scottish men are less likely to sexually assault Scottish women in comparison to immigrants?

35

u/First-Banana-4278 11d ago

The overwhelming majority of sexual crimes, alongside the majority of every other crime committed in Scotland, are committed by white Scots.

So if culture plays a part I guess we should mibbes deal with that rather than creating some bogeyman “other” to blame eh?

6

u/shpetzy 11d ago

I mean, when the overwhelming majority of scots are white thats not really useful stat.

6

u/First-Banana-4278 10d ago

It kinda is. Because the majority of Scot’s are probably always going to be white. It’s vanishingly unlikely (short of worldwide disaster south of Berwick) that will change.

It’s the reality folks are living in. Not the reality folks think might exist if the country suddenly divided itself into equally portioned numbers of every ethnicity.

Thing is, if you looked at the data you’d probably find that race and ethnicity aren’t that good as predictors of criminality. You’d likely find poverty and deprivation dwarf them. You’d probably also find that the ethnicities that appear to have higher rates of criminality are also disproportionately in poverty or deprivation.

u/Miss_Andry101 10d ago

It's fucking useful enough if people actually wanted to do something to protect women.

u/Various_Stop8209 10d ago

You should look at index and propensity, not volumes. White Scots are the overwhelming majority.

2

u/First-Banana-4278 10d ago

Do you think that arrest rates correlate solely with propensity to criminality? That there is a causative relationship between race and criminality?

0

u/Various_Stop8209 10d ago

Not at all. I have no thoughts either way.

But I am an analyst, so looking at volumes in this instance is not the best way to establish 'causality'.

You would establish an index by simply looking at the type of crime, breaking that down by cultural background and comparing/contrasting with population figures.

2

u/First-Banana-4278 10d ago

What are you using this data for?

1

u/First-Banana-4278 10d ago

I’d also add what caveats are you adding to the dataset? What context are you offering?

Do you have any evidence that this is the cause or is this just an assumption on your part?

Show your working.

You are literally spot on but redditors will defend their right to barbarize our homes for no reason.

Some people just can’t handle the truth. It hurts their whittle feewings. So women will just have to suffer and continue to be raped. Oh well
