"Crime Statistics are rendered useless if violent and sexual attacks committed by biological men are recorded as female crimes."

-JK Rowling

The goal of the "NOT OUR CRIMES" petition is to call attention to the reporting inaccuracy of criminal statistics as it pertains to biological women (XX) and biological men (XY). Previously, 'The Federal Bureau Of Investigation' reported that, "in 2023, 73.8 percent of all arrestees were males. Males accounted for 80.1 percent of persons arrested for violent crimes and for 62.6 percent of persons arrested for property crimes. Males comprised 88.7 percent of persons arrested for murder and nonnegligent manslaughter in 2023. Of the total number of persons arrested for drug abuse violations, 79.7 percent were males". Statistical inaccuracies related to gender identity can arise from a variety of sources, affecting the reliability and validity of data in this area. These inaccuracies can significantly impact research outcomes, policy decisions, and the understanding of gender identity issues. Statistical inaccuracies can also further isolate Females (XX) who are victimized based on their biological sex and not a gender identity.

The phrase "NOT OUR CRIMES" often appears in discussions about the historical and ongoing injustices that marginalized groups face. We argue that gender identity should NOT be considered in the reporting of violent and sexual crimes, and that this practice on a broader scale attempts to further ERASE the biological Female/Girls (XX) as victims of sex-based crimes. Globally, statitical data suggests that the majority of sexually violent crimes are committed by biological men. If sexually violent crimes that are committed by men are now labelled as crimes committed by "females", based on gender-selection, then this data is flawed and any societal laws set to protect the Female (XX), will further be eliminated.  

 

Here are some key aspects and potential sources of Statistical Inaccuracies in the context of gender selection:

 Female Erasure as Victim and Statistical Inaccuracy 

"Female Erasure" is a term used to describe the diminishing and marginalization of the Female (XX) and female experiences in various contexts. Certain social, cultural, or political trends can lead to the invisibility or devaluation of the Female (XX) identitiy, voices, and contributions. Here are some key aspects and debates surrounding the idea of female erasure:

Key Aspects of Female (XX) Erasure

Language and Terminology:

Gender-neutral language: Some argue that the increasing use of gender-neutral language (e.g., "pregnant people", "chest feeder", "person who bleeds", "uterus holder" etc. ) can obscure the specific experiences of the adult human female and girls worldwide. 

De-gendering terms:

Changes in terminology, such as replacing "mother" with "birthing parent," are seen by some as erasing the unique role and identity of the Female (XX).

Representation in Media and Culture:

Underrepresentation: Women may be underrepresented in various media forms, including film, literature, and news. This lack of visibility can contribute to a broader cultural erasure of women's experiences.
Stereotyping: When women are represented, they may be confined to stereotypical roles that do not reflect the diversity of women's lives and contributions.

Historical and Academic Erasure:

Omission from History: Women’s achievements and contributions have often been omitted or downplayed in historical narratives and academic research.
Patriarchal MALE Bias: Academic disciplines have historically been dominated by male perspectives, leading to a lack of focus on women's experiences and contributions.

The Importance Of Accurate Data and Crime Statistics: 

Female (XX) Spaces: 

The concept of "female spaces" refers to areas, institutions, or events that are designated exclusively for women. These spaces are often created to provide safety, support, and empowerment for women, recognizing the unique challenges and experiences they may face. Here’s an overview of the significance, types, and debates surrounding female spaces:

Significance of Female Spaces: 

Safety and Privacy:

Female spaces offer a sense of security and privacy, especially in contexts where women might be vulnerable to harassment or violence. Examples include women’s shelters, bathrooms, and changing rooms.

Support and Empowerment: 

These spaces provide environments where women can share experiences, support each other, and build networks. Women’s support groups, female-only gyms, and women’s health clinics are examples where this support and empowerment take place.

Equality and Opportunity:

Female spaces can help level the playing field by providing women with opportunities to participate and thrive without facing gender-based discrimination. This includes women’s colleges, professional organizations, and business networks. Gender critical theory, often referred to as "gender critical feminism" or "gender critical ideology," is a perspective within feminist thought that is critical of contemporary gender theory, particularly the concepts of gender identity and transgender rights. Here are some key points typically associated with gender critical theory:

Biological Sex vs. Gender Identity:

Gender critical theorists emphasize the distinction between biological sex (male and female) and gender identity (man, woman, non-binary, etc.). Biological sex is a material reality that should not be conflated with gender identity, which they see as a social construct.

Critique of Transgender Ideology: Gender critical theorists often challenge the idea that individuals can change their sex through medical or social transition. They may argue that recognizing gender identity over biological sex can undermine women's rights and spaces that are segregated by sex, such as bathrooms, prisons, and sports.

Women's Rights: A central concern for gender critical feminists is the protection of women's rights and spaces. They argue that policies and laws based on gender identity rather than biological sex can erode the hard-won rights of women and girls.

Free Speech and Debate: Gender critical theorists often emphasize the importance of open debate and free speech on issues of gender and sex. They may criticize what they see as the suppression of dissenting views on gender identity and transgender issues within academic, political, and social spheres.

PURPOSE

Summary of findings

"This Swedish cohort study by Dhejne et al. (2011) followed a population of individuals who had undergone surgical and legal sex reassignment involving hormonal and surgical treatment between 1973 and 2003 (324 in total) and compared them to a matched control group of their birth sex. It is crucial to emphasise that this study looks only at those who have undergone hormonal and surgical transition, which is a much tighter group than individuals who self- identify as transgender. The primary purpose of the study was to consider whether medical transition helps patients (leads to better social and health outcomes) and to inform what support they might need post transition. It is methodologically robust, peer reviewed, large scale comparative source on offending rates comparing transwomen and women. It compared the likelihood of a person having one or more criminal convictions, and convictions for violent crime (defined as “homicide and attempted homicide, aggravated assault and assault, robbery, threatening behaviour, harassment, arson, or any sexual offense”).

The study can be divided into two cohorts 1973-1988 and 1989-2003 with the difference being that the latter cohort received adequate mental health provision. The findings show that transsexual individuals were more likely to be criminal than non-transsexuals of the same birth sex in the first cohort (1973-1988), and no different from their birth sex in the second group (1989-2003).

The researcher’s state:

‘Male-to-females . . . retained a male pattern regarding criminality. The same was true regarding violent crime.’

MtF transitioners were over 6 times more likely to be convicted of an offence than female comparators and 18 times more likely to be convicted of a violent offence. The group had no statistically significant differences from other natal males, for convictions in general or for violent offending. The group examined were those who committed to surgery, and so were more tightly defined than a population based solely on self-declaration.
   
Written evidence submitted by Professor Rosa Freedman, Professor Kathleen Stock and Professor Alice Sullivan [GRA2021]

The study provides strong evidence that policy makers cannot safely assume (a) that transwomen’s offending patterns, including violent offending, will be significantly different than those of the general male population or (b) that they will be similar to those of the general female population.

‘The number of transgender prisoners increased following the new regulations. The first statistics were collected in the beginning of April 2016. There were 70 transgender prisoners, defined as ‘currently living in, or are presenting in, a gender different to their sex assigned at birth’ and as having had a case conference under the 2011 regulations (Ministry of Justice 2016, p. 2). This number excluded prisoners with a gender recognition certificate, like Karen Jones. The new regulations came into force in January 2017. Three months later the number of transgender prisoners had almost doubled to 125 (Ministry of Justice 2017, p. 13). The growth might have reflected the new dispensation which incentivized prisoners to declare a gender identity. The number of males in the women’s estate was not recorded. A dissident feminist organization, Fair Play for Women, estimated this figure by combing through the reports of individual prisons, predominantly from 2017 and 2016. They found reference to 13 males in women’s prisons; the total was likely to be higher (Fair Play 2017). One of them was Jessica Winfield, moved to a women’s prison, HMP Bronzefield, in March 2017 (EleftheriouSmith 2017). As Martin Ponting, he had been sentenced to life in 1995 for raping two girls. Around the same time, five males were transferred to another women’s prison, HMP New Hall (Hamilton 2017). The first official figures distinguishing between the men’s and women’s estates were provided for the beginning of April 2018. The total number of transgender prisoners had increased modestly from 125 to 139. There were 42 transgender prisoners in the women’s estate: 22 of them identified as female, 17 as male, and 3 gave no response (Ministry of Justice 2018a, p. 17). It seems implausible that there were as many as 17 females identifying as transmen in women’s prisons; one suspects that these figures reflect confusion over classification among inmates or officials. 9 Prisoners with a gender recognition certificate were not counted as transgender, moreover, and so the figure of 22 will underestimate the total number of males in women’s prisons.’"

Transgender Rights and Feminism:

Debate over Inclusion: One of the most contentious aspects of the female erasure debate involves the inclusion of transgender women in spaces and categories traditionally reserved for cisgender women. Some gender-critical feminists argue that this inclusion can undermine women's rights and visibility.

Sports and Prisons: Specific issues, such as transgender women competing in women’s sports or being housed in women’s prisons, are flashpoints in the debate over balancing inclusion with the protection of female spaces and identities.

Legal and Policy Changes:

Gender Self-Identification: Policies that allow individuals to self-identify their gender without medical or legal gatekeeping are seen by some as potentially eroding the legal and social recognition of biological sex differences.

Impact on Services: Changes in policies regarding single-sex services and spaces (e.g., shelters, bathrooms) can affect how these services are provided and accessed.

 

Statistical Inaccuracy and Data Collection As It Pertains to Female Crime

When violent and sexual crimes committed by biological men are rendered as Female crimes, this does two things to the safety of Women and Children.  Inaccurate Data collection regarding one's biological sex offsets the victims of these crimes and erases the main perpetuator of those crimes committed. 

"Sex differences in crime are differences between men and women as the perpetrators or victims of crime. Such studies may belong to fields such as criminology (the scientific study of criminal behavior), sociobiology (which attempts to demonstrate a causal relationship between biological factors, in this case biological sex and human behaviors), or feminist studies. Despite the difficulty of interpreting them, crime statistics may provide a way to investigate such a relationship from a gender differences perspective. An observable difference in crime rates between men and women might be due to social and cultural factors, crimes going unreported, or to biological factors for example, testosterone or sociobiological theories. The nature or motive of the crime itself may also require consideration as a factor.

Statistics have been consistent in reporting that men commit more criminal acts than women. Self-reported delinquent acts are also higher for men than for women, although lower than official data. Low levels of self-control are associated with criminal activity. Many professionals have offered explanations for this sex difference. Some differing explanations include men's evolutionary tendency toward risk and violent behavior, sex differences in activity, social support, or gender inequality." 

"Statistical Inaccuracy" refers to errors or issues in the collection, analysis, interpretation, or presentation of statistical data. These inaccuracies can arise from various sources and can significantly affect the conclusions drawn from the data. Understanding the types of statistical inaccuracies and how they can occur is crucial for ensuring the reliability and validity of statistical findings. Here are some key aspects:

Types of Statistical Inaccuracies

Sampling Errors:

Bias: This occurs when the sample is not representative of the population. Bias can be introduced intentionally or unintentionally, leading to skewed results.
Under coverage: When some members of the population are inadequately represented in the sample.
Nonresponse Bias: When individuals who do not respond to a survey differ significantly from those who do.
Measurement Errors:

Instrument Error: Inaccuracies arising from faulty measurement tools or instruments.
Interviewer Bias: When the person conducting the survey influences responses through their behavior or questioning style.
Recall Bias: Errors that occur when participants do not accurately remember past events or experiences.

Data Processing Errors:

Coding Errors: Mistakes made when coding data for analysis.
Data Entry Errors: Errors introduced during the input of data into a computer system.

Model Specification Errors:

Omitted Variable Bias: When a relevant variable is left out of the model.
Incorrect Functional Form: When the relationship between variables is modeled incorrectly.

Statistical Misinterpretation:

Misleading Graphs:

Using inappropriate scales, axes, or visual elements to misrepresent data.

Overgeneralization:

Making broad statements based on limited or specific data.

Consequences of Statistical Inaccuracy

Misinformed Decisions: Inaccurate statistics can lead to poor decisions in policy, business, healthcare, and other fields.
Loss of Credibility: Researchers, organizations, or institutions that produce inaccurate statistics can suffer a loss of trust and credibility.
Resource Misallocation: Resources may be wasted or misdirected based on faulty data or analyses.
Harmful Impacts: In fields like medicine or public health, statistical inaccuracies can have serious, even life-threatening consequences.

Mitigating Statistical Inaccuracies
Robust Study Design: Ensuring that studies are well-designed with representative samples and appropriate methodologies.
Quality Control: Implementing checks at each stage of data collection and processing.
Transparency: Being transparent about data sources, methodologies, and potential limitations.
Training: Educating those involved in data collection and analysis about best practices and common pitfalls.
Peer Review: Subjecting studies to rigorous peer review to catch errors and biases. Statistical inaccuracies can significantly impact the validity of research findings and the decisions based on them. Awareness of the types and causes of these inaccuracies, along with rigorous methodological practices, can help mitigate their effects and ensure more reliable and trustworthy statistical analyses.

What is the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)?

"The FBI’s UCR Program is a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort of more than 18,000 city, university and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes brought to their attention. Since 1930, the FBI has administered the UCR Program and continued to assess and monitor the nature and type of crime in the Nation. The program’s primary objective is to generate reliable information for use in law enforcement administration, operation, and management; however, its data have over the years become one of the country’s leading social indicators. Criminologists, sociologists, legislators, municipal planners, the media, and other students of criminal justice use the data for varied research and planning purposes. In 2010, law enforcement agencies active in the UCR Program represented more than 300 million United States inhabitants (97.4 percent of the total population). The coverage amounted to 98.4 percent of the population in Metropolitan Statistical Areas, 92.3 percent of the population in cities outside metropolitan areas, and 92.7 percent of the population in nonmetropolitan counties."

"Scarlet Blake, a 26-year-old trans identified MALE, was found guilty on Friday of killing Jorge Carreno in July 2021, having hit him on the back of the head with a vodka bottle before strangling him and pushing him into the River Cherwell, where he drowned.

Blake had previously said how (HE not SHE) had killed a cat and put it in a blender four months earlier, on the instruction of a former (BOY)friend, inspired by a Netflix documentary about a man who filmed himself killing kittens before murdering a student.

But during a two-week trial, Blake denied attacking Mr Carreno – a stranger who was on his way home from a night out – saying that the same girlfriend, Ashlynn Bell, had encouraged a graduation from killing animals to a human.

“HE was wanting to make me do this thing and I was pretty much... well at a limit after going through with the killing of the cat,” Blake told the court."
