So 1/40?
13/50 (or whatever it is at) is based on percentages.
So, it would have to be 1/4000
Yes, 40x the rate is 4000%
I stand corrected. I just saw 40x and my sleep addled brain jumped right to 4000%. Which obviously makes no sense. They disproportionally commit at 40x the expected rate but are not responsible for 40x the number of offenses committed.
13/50 is read as 13% (black population) do 50% (of the crime).
1/40 would then read as 1% (gay male population) do 40% (of the pederasty)
Don't think those numbers are right though, and this is the best source of numbers I could find. It puts (homo/bi)sexuals at ~16x the abuse rate (100x for teachers) and about a third of the acts. So that would be 2/33; two percent does thirty-three percent
1/4000 doesn't fit the pattern; one percent does four thousand percent?

No, 1/40 is correct. 1% does 40%. Like 13/50 is 13% does 50%.
