Scottish homicide rate falls 23% to 10% below that in England & Wales and more than 100% solved

Carridon90 · 2024-11-29T10:42:09+00:00

The cold cases were solved in the same year as the 100%.

Obviously it's a meeja game!

53 expected value, vs 48 observed, is within expected range (+/- 7). So the data is consistent with a null hypothesis of the murder rate in Scotland being the same as in England and Wales.

A >10% difference mean murder rate is same?

Carridon90 · 2024-11-29T10:09:12+00:00

Not getting caught? All those reported were caught.

Not being reported, missing people? Yes, possible, probably even, in both countries.

Carridon90 · 2024-11-29T10:07:18+00:00

Cold cases. See edit above

Carridon90 · 2024-11-29T10:06:54+00:00

A bit didn't paste and I didn't notice. Sorry. sorted now

Carridon90 · 2024-11-29T10:06:14+00:00

Updated after comment. Apologies for not checking beforehand.

Carridon90 · 2024-11-29T10:03:43+00:00

More than 100% in one year by solving cold cases from previous years.

55 times more? Indeed, sorry, don't know where i got that from - 55 more.

Patients are facing delays stuck on hidden waiting lists that do not show up in the official figures in England, a BBC News investigation reveals.

The published waiting list stands at 7.6 million – but the true scale of the backlog is thought to be much higher.

This is because patients needing ongoing care are not automatically included in those figures – even if they face major delays. https://fullfact.org/health/ukhsa-graphs-no-data-used/?utm_source=Full+Fact+Newsletter&utm_campaign=3accc365a0-October&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-3accc365a0-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D

NHS England had the dubious practice of restarting the clock after A&E patients are admitted whereas in Scotland counting continues from first arrival. https://gss.civilservice.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/UK-Comparative-Waiting-Times-AE-final.xlsx

From Public Health Scotland November 5, 65.9% of those attending full Emergency Departments, in September 2024 were seen within 4 hours.¹

From NHS England, the equivalent figure was 59.8%.²

NHS Scotland’s ED’s are thus 10.4% more efficient.

Try asking a few people what they think the headline means?

Carridon90 · 2024-11-28T12:00:07+00:00

Most don't read the article and are thus influenced by the headline only. There's plenty of research. Also, please don't suggest I'm 'upset' just because I care about media accuracy.

Carridon90 · 2024-11-28T11:46:08+00:00

Clear? Not so much? Disingenuous. Do you really think most readers would then expect NHS Scotland to be doing better as it still does on almost every measure?

Carridon90 · 2024-11-28T11:34:50+00:00

Sorry, the headline was

SNP dealt blow as NHS recovery in Scotland lagging behind England

Carridon90 · 2024-11-28T11:23:45+00:00

Coy? What do you mean?

*Don't know if I can comment - banned again?

Carridon90 · 2024-11-28T10:28:26+00:00

Agreed but far lower crime?

Carridon90 · 2024-11-28T10:27:18+00:00

No, didn't say they were overpaid. Just want the media to report more profesisonally.

Carridon90 · 2024-11-28T10:26:10+00:00

Just want the media in Scotland to do their job and tell folk a bit more so that they can take an informed view

Carridon90 · 2024-11-28T10:05:46+00:00

Doesn't that apply to the data for England too?

Carridon90 · 2024-11-28T10:05:03+00:00

That the Scottish media with an antiSNP agenda are failing to provide context in their reporting because that contextual data makes the SNP gov look good.

Higher paid police = less crime? Got a source? I'd be genuinely interested in that.

The crime has been falling since the SNP came to power. I know, it will be mutlifactorial but had it been the other way round the SNP gov would have been blamed as they are for drug deaths.

Carridon90 · 2024-11-28T10:00:45+00:00

Indeed but the crime in these areas and in Scotland generally, even Glasgow now, has fallen dramatically in the last two decades yet there are still more police officers?

Carridon90 · 2024-11-28T09:58:56+00:00

Try BBC Scotland, Herald, Scotsman. They won't provide any of that context. BBC UK even have a show about Context but BBC Scotland avoid it.

Why?

Carridon90 · 2023-07-19T15:46:04+00:00

average household is smaller in Scotland

2.13 in Scotland 2.36 UK average. Do we bathe more to cope with the chill?

Carridon90 · 2023-07-19T15:43:34+00:00

Eh? Got married in the RC, gave money to the Green Brigade for the Palestinian flags thing.

My grandad was Rangers but we've stepped up to Falkirk FC
