So the research on under reporting of crimes in migrant communities has nothing to do with the crime stats used to support claims that migrants, as a demographic, commit less crimes?
I take it this view on the accuracy and totality of reported crime stats also extends to figures on sexual assault and rape i.e. the crime stats surrounding SA are accurate, and not under reported?
That study long predates the current fascist crackdown on migrants.
I’m not making any argument, I’m simply correcting your misinformation with relevant scientific studies from the NIH.
I understand why that message is counter to the popular narrative on the left, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong, again, see the study.
I also understand that it’s not a popular thing to bring up right now because of what’s going on, but when you drill down into it, all I’m saying is that migrants are people like everyone else. They aren’t inherently worse then natural born citizens, but they aren’t better either, they’re just people.
And like everyone else, migrant crime rates are most closely aligned to poverty rates, but crime rates are also dependent upon crimes being reported, and there are legitimate and understandable reasons why crimes in those communities go under reported.
This is the other side of migrant propaganda, the the one where they are paragons of virtue and more law-abiding than everyone else, but it’s false.
They are people, and their crime rates, like with everyone else, are most closely aligned to the demographic’s poverty rates, not their immigration status.
Migrants don’t magically escape the correlation between income levels and crime. But they are significantly less likely to report crimes, for obvious and understandable reasons, which does bring the reported crime rates in their communities down.
And I can match your anecdotal stories with my own that counter your anecdotal experiences, including living in Arizona during the SB 1070 era. But just like your stories, they’re anecdotal.
So instead, here’s a 2019 NIH Study:
Silence Speaks: The Relationship between Immigration and the Underreporting of Crime
Covert actions are also acts of war, but the plausible deniability can be used by both sides as an off-ramp from further escalation.
This is a hilarious self-own.
NatSec reporters are critical components for modern defense policy, as they are how the planners and politicians manufacture consent across the populace.
I don’t think this will turn all of these journalists against their masters, errrrr sources, but I bet you get a few additional cases of journalism that would have been previously swept under the rug as favors for said sources.
Maybe not enough to rock the system, but possibly enough to pressure Hegseth.
It’s systemic, and whether or not it’s perpetrated directly by big tech, they are the primary beneficiaries i.e. increased ad sales.
This is a problem that requires regulation, which means it will not be addressed meaningfully, as that won’t happen anytime soon.
They’re saying that they serve the same masters, not that they take the same approach.
I think we can all appreciate that while the Democrats are objectively better than Trump, that doesn’t wash away their sins and own systemic rot.
It is important to remember that while they may be short-term allies of necessity, they are not good and they will never serve your interests if that conflicts with the interests of the donor class.
Is this what fedposting looks like?
The epitome of limousine liberal.
Completely owned by Big tech and VC.
Everything he’s doing now is for his presidential run, but that doesn’t mean there’s no value to any of it.
At this point, we’ll take what I can get, and he knows that.
That’s a great idea, but it would have to stand out on their work uniforms.
Best to make it a bright color, like yellow or gold.
I don’t understand why using the state’s authority to intentionally and illegally destroy someone’s life isn’t being talked about as a capital crime.
If we’re a country that supports the death penalty, we might as well put it to some good use.
I understand why the agents of the state won’t talk about it like that, but I don’t understand why the citizens don’t start talking about it in those terms.
Go to conservative forums, all of the top comments are about how his politics don’t matter, lashing out at “the left” for pointing out his politics, or lamenting the fact that politics are even brought into this terrible tragedy.
I won’t hazard a guess at administrative/bureaucratic staff breakdowns, but you can bet your ass that the people who work inside the prisons, voted overwhelmingly for Trump.
Elect Democrats next presidential cycle and watch them do nothing to prosecute any of the criminal acts by agents of this administration, much less do anything to actually rebalance the economy.
Then watch them lose the following election and blame radical leftists.
This is the way.
That’s so 20th century.
21st century DNC is all about that sweet private equity cash and making land acknowledgments.
That’s not what I’m saying.
Giving people more, or better, health insurance, or raising minimum wage, are policies that the donor class feels comes at their expense. Either monetarily, or by giving the peasants more financial freedom, which they view as weakening their strangle hold on society.
They may have moral objections to marijuana, but enough of them also want to get richer off of it, so it’s not the same thing.
Pretty much everything is public on Lemmy.
Not an assumption…votes are public on Lemmy.
No, they down voted my comment and replied because they think they were correcting some mistake I had made.
Either bad English comprehension, or it’s not their native language.
Of course not, which is obvious to any good faith reading of what I wrote.
It’s also one of the biggest factors as to why crimes in those communities are under-reported.
