Is it valid to say 40% of American police officers perpetrate domestic violence?
After half an hour digging through empirical #research I think I can confidently say "no." Why? Because we have no real idea how much DV is perpetrated by cops. Because nobody can really study it with solid methods. Because (IMO, anyway) a lot of scholars are kind of scared of #cops .
One guy testified for Congress in 1991, and he gets cited a lot, but his #ResearchMethods were not perfect. Then the rate of good research on this went down for the next 30 years.
Lots of opinions, "perceptions of...", etc., but `` numbers? I'm currently not finding any I trust a whole lot. One lit review (2016) found estimates of #DomesticViolence rates from 5% to 40%. Another article just said "Probably about the same as the general public," after clearly misreading a couple of previous estimates.
Anyway, nobody knows how much domestic violence police commit, and it sort of feels like the police want it to stay that way.

Maraming salamat muli sa Philippine Statistics Authority para sa oportunidad na magbahagi tungkol sa Python at ang gamit nito sa larangan ng pagmamapa!
Last week, we successfully completed a Python and QGIS training attended by participants from different offices, services, and divisions of the PSA.
The five-day course—characterized by BNHR's hands-on approach, exercise-driven methodology, and a strong focus on tangible outcomes—culminated with the participants showcasing Python and QGIS projects that included processing automations and models, custom QGIS scripts and widgets for easier layer styling, as well as interactive maps using Python.
So, people with more knowledge on these things. I have two questions that won’t let go off my head:
Is electricity generally gettting cheaper/more expensive and at what rate per year? When I say generally, I am not talking about short-term government subsidies.
is the number of computing operations/s getting higher for the same amount of electricity spent, and at what rate per year?
Stats fellows, where can I get back-of-the-napkin-number?

How to misdirect with indicators: "Median travel speeds are only slightly above the 15-mph target (17 mph averaged across the corridor).” I don't know about you, but I'm a lot more concernd about the high end speeds, not that only half the cars exceed 17 mph. Median (half above, half below) and mean (average) do not tell you distribution of speeds, or how fast the extremes are.
And as a pedestrian who likes slow streets, I am very aware of the high speed tail. I'm a little worried that #sfmta appears to not understand how to use statistics to assess risks.
