I doubt that pedophilia is a Republican-only phenomena.

Interestingly, most pedophiles in the US ARE Star Trek fans - die hard fans at that.

Last month, there was some discussion in the blogosphere about the alleged Star Trek-pedophile connection. According to an article in the L. A. Times (no longer available online), detectives in the Toronto sex crimes unit had noticed that “All but one of the [over 100] offenders they have arrested in the last four years was a hard-core Trekkie.”

So, what does this tell us about Star Trek fans? Jokes aside, most commentators have emphasized what it doesn’t tell us. Even if all pedophiles were Trek fans, we could not logically conclude that all Trek fans are pedophiles. Said the article’s original author, “It is important to note that they are not saying that every Star Trek fan is a pedophile -- just that it was a surprisingly common element among those they had arrested.”

But that’s needlessly all-or-nothing thinking. We can’t say anything with certainty about Trek fans’ sexual tendencies, but we can make judgments of probability. The question is this: Given that someone is a hard-core Trek fan, what is the probability that he is a pedophile?

We can address this question through an application of Bayes’ Rule. We also need some other statistics: the percentage of the whole population who are pedophiles, and the percentage of the non-pedophiles who are Trek fans. These are both rather difficult to estimate.

I couldn’t find an estimate of what fraction of the public is pedophile; no one wants to commit to a figure. But based on the number of men surveyed who say they were sexually abused in their youth (about 16%) and the average number of victims per sexual abuser (about 100 victims each, according to a website I can’t find anymore), we can guess that about 0.08% of people are sexual abusers of male children. Doing the same with numbers for female victims (27% of women sexually abused in youth, 20 victims per abuser), about 0.675% of people are sexual abusers of female children. Assuming the two groups don’t overlap, we can figure 0.755% of people is a sexual abuser of children. Allowing for some overlap, I’ll round down to 0.5%, or one person in 200. I will call these people “pedophiles.” [UPDATE: I realized later that I've assumed an impossible amount of overlap, so the pedophile-percentage should be larger. That would result in an even bigger estimate of the probability a Trek fan is a pedophile.] (Lots of assumptions are built into these calculations, so take them with a grain of salt.)

So what about the fraction of the non-pedophiles who are Trek fans? This one’s even more difficult to estimate. We can approximate it with the fraction of general public who are Trek fans (since pedophiles are so rare). As many as 50% of Americans claim to be Trek fans – but we’re not interested in just run-of-the-mill fans; we need the kind of fans who would have Trek paraphernalia in their homes for detectives to discover. I’m going to make a wild stab and say 1%. That’s probably too high. But assuming a large number here will give us a conservative estimate of the probability that a Trek fan is a pedophile.

Now for the calculations. Say we have a population of 100,000 people. Of those people, 99,500 are normal and 500 pedophiles. Since 1% of the normals are Trek fans, we have 995 normal Trek fans. Since 99% of pedophiles are Trek fans (according to the Toronto detectives), we have 495 pedophile Trek fans. So the fraction of all Trek fans who are pedophiles is 495 / [495 + 9950] = 0.332. That is, almost a third of hard-core Trek fans are pedophiles!

Now, just to be clear, there’s still a 67% chance your Trekker neighbor is perfectly normal (in the sense of not molesting kids). On the other hand, 33% is 66 times larger than the chance a non-Trekker is a pedophile. If it makes you feel any better, keep in mind that we’re only taking about hard-core Trekkers here.

My calculations are highly sensitive to the assumptions, particularly the percent of the general public who are pedophiles. If you’d like to redo the calculations using your own assumptions, here’s the formula:

ac / [ac + (1 - a)b]

where a = fraction of general public who are pedophiles; b = fraction of the non-pedophile public who are Trek fans; and c = fraction of pedophiles who are Trek fans. My calculations assumed a = 0.005, b = 0.01, and c = 0.99.

I welcome corrections to my calculations, since I’d rather not be suspicious of my Trek-loving friends.

You're right. I missed that.

Nevermind then.

Sierra BTHP... that is hilarious.

Anyway, I'm as liberal as they get and I think posting these kinds of lists is stupid, partisan stuff really. Frankly, it is a bit disgusting that a democrat would have to resort to this sort of mudslinging. If you're going to attack Republicans, go after - say- their [appalling] policies instead?

It's been a pet peeve of mine - I've often thought that if Kerry and Bush had faced Blair at the Presidential Debates, Blair (even if you don't like him) would have wiped the floor with them. He's that much more intelligent and well-spoken than either candidate.

The fact that both Kerry and Bush were such ill-spoken boobs makes me wonder why people don't just stick to cornering our politicians on issues.

Neither Kerry, nor Bush, could answer questions well - questions for which they were supposedly prepared.

The mudslinging isn't really necessary. You don't even have to wait for them to commit some other crime - you can raise the issues that are at hand.

I'm wondering about the stereotype that people who use big text are compensating for something. Hmm . . . .

EDIT: Damn, looks like Sierra got a better one liner in, and did it before me.

The pædotrekker thing was a hoax, I heard, but one that fooled a number of psychologists.

I suppose by now, news of Republican hypocrisy doesn't seem to shock me anymore, though.

I doubt that pedophilia is a Republican-only phenomena.

Interestingly, most pedophiles in the US ARE Star Trek fans - die hard fans at that.

So, what does this tell us about Star Trek fans?
It could just mean that most pedophiles who get caught are Star trek fans. Meanwhile, most pedophiles who don't get caught are not star trek fans. Of course, Trekkies are just a bit odd, so it might not be that after all.

a) Big font size bad, hmmk?
b) Chomsky would not resort to this sort of thing.

Re: Sierra BTHP
Blair has Question Time weekly, so I have no doubt about it that you are right. All hail question time ;)

As for the thread starter, I suppose if the republicans were getting their asses handed to them in the voting booths like the dems have been lately, that a list like the above could be found about democrats.

I suppose anybody from the left would be incapible of sexually abusing a child?

(And that is coming from the man who sexually abused my fiancee! ;) )

Maybe we can NOT make this a partisan issue? Pedophile witchhunts are stupid. Really, really stupid. shouting "pedophile" is about the equivalent of shouting "nazi" in any discussion. It makes any sort of exchange of ideas completely impossible. ;)

But the initial poster DID make it a partisan issue!

To me , it seems like he is making the point that only these republicans could possibly do something this terrible.

Then I suggest we just read what the initial poster has written, dismiss it as hackery and leave him be.

Mind you, he did not actually make the point that non-Republicans are clean, but I agree that it is fairly stupid. Anyway, uhm, I guess I should stop posting in this thread to stop giving it more unwarranted attention. Oh well.

As crazy American religious fundamentalist card carrying Republican, I enjoy this thread. two posts...

Noam Chomsky is someone who just takes advantage young minds and corrupts into thinking that Marx Espresso (cool new Marxism that has nothing to with the gulags) is so cool. He is a jackhole, a holocaust denier, and an absolute arse. To bad MIT people have no idea about political thought... I mean if I was teaching linguistics there, I'd go crazy too.

An extensive list of Republican Pedophiles

Oooh, that's really low.

I doubt that pedophilia is a Republican-only phenomena.Neither is a Cahtolic-only phenomena.

This is a meaningless list. The number of activists for independent parties in the US is tiny. Therefore, if you were to take a look at convicted pedophiles who were politically active, you would expect to find that close to half of them are republican and close to half of them are democrat. This is not at all interesting, it is expected.

Sierra BTHP... that is hilarious.

Because Republicans think Bush is still doing a good job. Some of them anyways. Or they're saying "well, it'd be a million times worse with a democratic president!"

Um...Clinton's low is 39% Bush's is 26%. That should be enough to silence any blustering, shouldn't it?

As a Republican studying for the priesthood, who is also the president of the Phoenix-Metro-Area William Shatner Fan Club, I find this thread offensive. As does my lover, Scooter.

In my opinion, the reason some trekkies become pedo's is probably because they (the ones who become pedo's) are of the stereotype that Trekkies can't get laid because they're nerdy or something like that, so the look to the younger generation. Yikes.

I could be wrong though, hopefully.
