Below is from the Crime Prevention Research Center.

that was written by John Lott. he also wrote this editorial on fox while pretending to be a woman. he pretended to be a different woman when he wrote a bunch of reviews of his books.

he's more or less insane.

Granted it only examines detailed data from Arizona but when I heard this guy explain it he went into great detail as to how the so-called study libs reference as a source inflates the denominator and reduces the numerator.

his system for labeling citizens in that is wrong .

"Lott claimed his incarceration data showed that 11.1 percent of those who went into prison in Arizona in 2014 were undocumented immigrants, while the group accounts for just 4.9 percent of the state’s population. But he abused the data to get to the 11.1 percent figure."
"The variable he used to calculate which convicts were undocumented immigrants and which were citizens or documented legal residents or visitors cannot actually clarify the distinction he said it clarifies.
The data Arizona keeps suggest that at most 4.3 percent of all those admitted to prisons there last year were undocumented.
“Lott thought that ‘non-U.S. citizens and deportable’ describes only illegal immigrants, but it does not.”
"In fact, the data include immigrants of all legal statuses."
“Using another variable that Lott did not analyze reveals that, at worst, illegal immigrants in Arizona likely have an incarceration rate lower than their percentage of that state’s population.”
