Sorry I was thinking population.

What I read was you take all pedophiles from the general population and it is around 1-2%.
Given that homosexuals are 2-3% of the general population and they account for 25% of of all pedophiles their real numbers are great when compared across the board.

Ok, that did not make it more clear did it?

hum Try this.
General population is 1,000.
Pedophiles are 2% or 20.
Homosexuals are 3% or 30.
Of the pedophiles, homosexuals are 25% of the 20 which is 5.

Well, that wasn’t better, either.

Ok, lets end with this......homosexuals have a higher percentage of pedophiles than heterosexuals in the general population.

If you can explain to more clearly PLEASE do so.

>> and they account for 25% of of all pedophiles

I’m confused. Is that your calculation or a value from statistical data?

Ok, I’ll take a stab at it. 25% of pedophiles are homosexuals, while only 3% of the general population are homosexuals. This means that homosexuals are 25/3 or 8.33 times more likely to be pedophiles than non-homosexuals.
