I don't think you understand percentages...

12/06/04 07:18 PM

Of the MEN that are ordered to pay support, 43% are in arrears. Of the WOMEN that are ordered to pay support, 57% are in arrears. The reason percentages HAVE to be used is BECAUSE the custody situation is so uneven.

To use an example, if you have a neighborhood with 75% caucasians and 25% African Americans, and the jail population for that area was 75% white and 25% black, that would be an appropriate number.

BUT, if you said that of the WHITE people in jail, 43% were there for violent crimes, and 57% of the BLACK jail population was there for violent crimes, THAT would indicate that the black population in that area was MORE violent. Even though there are LESS black inmates in for violent crimes, the PERCENTAGE of those inmate in for violent crimes is higher.

{disclaimer:I am NOT a racist, I simply used this as an example. People are violent per their upbringing and personality and it has NOTHING to do with race.}

Why give a "senior" discount, they have had plenty of time to raise the money...
