According to wikipedia, Texas and California have a shade under 65 million people combined.

When I added up New York, NJ, Mass, Conn., Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont, I got a shade over 43.1 million people combined.

I'm pretty sure that Governor Christie is not going to start an ad campaign, "Come to New Jersey, we have less registered sex offenders than California!"

I'm just saying.

Someone should put that station on some type of list where offenders are prevented from teaching kids math. Ministry of Pain's List or something.

At first I thought we'd have to look at each state's sex offender statutes and probably conclude that California and Texas have more broad registration laws.

But no, just simple math shows have stupid this statistic is.

What's misleading?

On a per capita basis,

CA = 0.2143%

TX = 0.3071%

NE+NY+NY = 0.0615%

That makes CA 3.484 times higher than NE+NY+NY and makes TX almost 5 times higher.

Florida has to be up there, right?

The internet sux.

I read it as TX and CA combined. Whoops

Better police force in those two states. That's has to be it.

Apparently Northeastern kids know how to keep quiet.

OTOH, CA+TX has way more Mexican food than NE+NY+NJ

They undoubtedly have way more Mexicans, too.

I'm not going to bother with the links.

Is there a breakdown of how many offenders are repeat offenders? Like some sort of criminal : # of victims ratio?

 

[ffldrew]

I take it Pennsylvania is #1?
