And of course if you had that data, what use are the demographics? Why would you care about shitty imperfect proxies when you have non-proxy immediate data about every individual? Use the data instead of the proxy.Oleg cannot answer my question because it is unverifiable what percentage of crimes are committed by any demographic. We would need to know all the crimes (including those that are unreported) as well as who committed them along with their demographic information and psychological profile. That data is unavailable.He won't answer the question. So I quote from Oleg's citation,Please show the rate of recidivism for violent offenders answers the question about the percentage of violent crimes committed by psychopaths.Is this a joke? The highest rate of recidivism is for violent offenders.What percentage of violent crimes is committed by psychopaths?
And of the approximately 6,720,000 adult males that are in prison, jail, parole, or probation,3 16%, or 1,075,000, are psychopaths.
The same study also states
This review also highlights a recent, compelling and cost-effective treatment program that has shown a significant reduction in violent recidivism in youth on a putative trajectory to psychopathic personality
Which appears to contradict Oleg's position.
And of course because in the US we are innocent until "proven guilty beyond shadow of doubt", the imperfect proxy shadowed all over with doubt must be thrown away.
