Sorry, Jim: never mean to patronise.

I am taking the group disposition as a donné and working out from there. It seems to me the statistics are not in dispute, are they? Or do you know different? Those at issue are, after all, based on convictions in particular places over a certain period in specified places. Even if atypical on a national rather than a regional basis, they still need examination & explanation.

And I still think that comparisons with other statistics related to other groups in other places at other times are the opposite of helpful.
