Mass. Governor Proposes Eliminating Statute of Limitations for Rape When DNA Evidence Exists
---

A WBUR-ProPublica investigation found that no DNA match, testimony or even confession could allow a rape to be prosecuted after the state’s 15-year deadline. The governor aims to “help survivors who have had to wait far too long for justice.”

Hmm, I had no idea (until recently) how popular Pokemon cards are for crime...

NHK:Tokyo police arrest 2 Vietnamese for suspected illegal purchase of Pokemon cards

"...They say the two men accessed the official sales website for Pokemon goods from June to September 2025 and created 30 fictitious accounts using fraudulently obtained SIM cards....Police searched related facilities and seized more than 15,000 Pokemon cards...."

The parameter "immigrant" is fairly useless for crime prediction. This is because lots of immigrants are

* Not poor
* Not young
* Women & girls
* With education

So if someone blames #crime on immigrants, they need to explain why wealthy old lady dentists are not included in their concept of the immigrant.

“From 2005 to 2024, nearly 5,000 CBP and Border Patrol officers were arrested, according to the journalist Garrett Graff … ’The crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States,’ Graff writes. Statistically speaking, ‘worst of the worst’ seems to describe CBP and the Border Patrol as law-enforcement agencies better than it does the people they’re rounding up.”

#Crime is a perennial problem. A lot of blame is being laid on groups in society. But there's one number you never see in these discussions.

What percentage of everyone is a criminal?

It's a single-digit percentage. Grab 100 random people in Sweden: 3 of them are criminals.

But there are in fact groups that have a higher percentage, though still low. Here are some strongly correlated factors.

* Poor
* Young
* Men
* With short education
