    I agree fully that the numbers can very well be off.

    In science, you need to prove a theory multiple times for it to become valid. Indicators like this dont mean a lot. But they do not mean nothing either.

    So saying „40% of cops are wife beaters“ is as wrong as „thats bullshit“. Neither side knows really but one has at least some data which we should check.
