Yet:<em><br/></em></p> <blockquote> <p>Violent crime has fallen through the floor (or at least back to the rates of the 1970s) relative to the bad old days. And this is true not just for homicide but also for <a href="http://familyinequality.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/are-women-becoming-the-violenter-sex-hanna-rosin-edition/">rape</a> and other assaults. At the same time, the <a href="http://familyinequality.wordpress.com/2010/12/10/visualizing-marriage-decline/">decline of marriage</a> has continued apace. Looking at two aggregate trends is never enough to tell a whole story of social change, of course. However, if two trends going together doesn’t prove a causal relationship, the opposite is not quite as true. If two trends do <em>not</em> go together, the theory that one causes the other has a steeper hill to climb. In the case of family breakdown driving crime rates, I don’t think the story will make it anymore.</p> </blockquote> <p>The takeaway:</p> <p>1) Correlation does not equal causation. There may be confounding factors that you haven’t even thought about that are affecting the data.</p> <p>2) People can and do interpret data in ways that confirm their biases.</p> <p>3) Don’t accept as fact everything you hear a journalist, bureaucrat, or lawmaker say, <em>even when they cite studies.</em> They may be misinterpreting or cherry-picking the data.</p> <p>4) A lot of people owe black single mothers an apology.</p> </blockquote>http://doldrumbum.tumblr.com/post/37755133225http://doldrumbum.tumblr.com/post/37755133225Tue, 11 Dec 2012 20:42:12 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma2i9cGd221ruz6m0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://doldrumbum.tumblr.com/post/37755019997http://doldrumbum.tumblr.com/post/37755019997Tue, 11 Dec 2012 20:40:47 -0500<a href="http://mirroir.tumblr.com/post/37739533915/alcoholic-beverage-breakdown">the ribcage is a jewel box: alcoholic beverage breakdown</a>: <blockquote> <p>I had a disturbing exchange with a high school-aged person today that prompted this…</p> <ul><li>Beer, wine, mead, and cider are fermented beverages.</li> <li> <strong>Mead</strong> is made from honey.</li> <li> <strong>Cider</strong> is made from apples.</li> <li> <strong>Beer</strong> is made from grains.</li> </ul><ul><li>Beer tastes like beer because they flavor it with hops.</li> <li>They used to…</li></ul></blockquote>http://doldrumbum.tumblr.com/post/37745808453http://doldrumbum.tumblr.com/post/37745808453Tue, 11 Dec 2012 18:42:10 -0500
