Professors from Sweden’s Lund University are facing prosecution from the country’s Ministry of Education for their “ethics” behind a paper demonstrating how most rapes are committed by migrants.
Professor Kristina Sundquist and her colleagues are under investigation by the Board of Appeal for Ethical Review, a body that reports directly to the Swedish Ministry of Education, over whether or not they had “ethical license” to handle “sensitive data.”
The data in question relates to the identities of rapists in Sweden, which culminated in the paper “Swedish Rape Offenders — A Latent Class Analysis.”
The published results reveal that immigrants are disproportionately overrepresented in rape cases and commit the vast majority of sexual violence, though the authors did not originally set out to find a link between the variable and rape.
“Immigrants were just a variable, and it turned out to be quite a remarkable discovery as there were many immigrants and foreign-born people in this group,” said Professor Sundquist.
In light of these findings, the Swedish Ministry of Education’s body launched an investigation into whether or not the professor had “ethical permission” to “test the hypothesis if immigrants are overrepresented in statistics on convicted rapists.”
The scientists were also criticized for insufficient evaluation as they failed to indicate how their research should “reduce exclusion and improve integration.”
Professor Ardavan Khoshnood, co-author of the paper, responded by calling the prosecution a “shame,” adding that he and his colleagues – including an immigrant co-author – are accused of “conducting and publishing illegal research.”
“The purpose of the study was not to find out what immigration is like. Surprisingly, this variable turned out to be quite important, and we didn’t know in advance what the study would show. We wanted to create a profile of the perpetrator, to know who the typical perpetrator is,” he added.
Perhaps they’ll burn any textbooks written by these professors.
So, TRUTH means nothing to the powers that be in Sweden.
Honest research prosecuted in Sweden. Who says that evil and stupidity can’t prevail over honest research and the truth?
Is there anywhere on earth, where the truth means anything?
Another case of “If you don’t want to know, then don’t ask”.
Board of Appeal for Ethical Review and the Swedish Ministry of Education clearly answer to a certain group of people.
Those people were referenced by Jesus Christ some 2,000 years ago in John 8:44.
I learned a long time ago there can be a big difference between the right answer and the correct answer.
Well I think more sweeds need to start to raping in order to be number 1, .. can’t let another group be number 1. Or is math racist again.
Not very difficult to understand how Galileo was labeled a heretic and threatened because he held that the Earth and other planets orbited the sun.
The fact that truth is illegal should be the clue to even the densest moron that we are not in Kansas anymore.
The truth is illegal. Rape is OK, if you’re a migrant.
When the results were released the group which was most surprised was the immigrant rapists who didn’t realize that the targeted behavior (i.e.rape) was reprehensible given that it was considered normal in their homeland. It brought home the reason that the camels were unusually nervous.
“illegal research.” Wow. So we have to get a license in order to research various topics at a library? Losers.
Obviously systemic racism by Swedes to make migrants look bad. We have a similar problem here with the FBI crime statistics reports.
P
Spoiler alert: this doesn’t end well.
It’s surprising the researchers were surprised which shows either the lack of common sense or fear of totalitarian reprisal.
