Texas Sex Offender Registry Analysis!
I downloaded the entire database (101,976 offenders) and can now easily query it to identify entries with incorrect Race/Ethnicity...
Here are the raw numbers so far:
With a simple query like this I can identify lots of "Hernandez's" incorrectly marked as "Non-Hispanic White"...

Here is a population vs. offenders chart with the incorrect data:
*Asians/AI/AN are the missing 1%
Accuracy: 89.48%! I need to go through all the false positives and manually verify each one to get in the mid 90% range...
Still finding odd "Non-Hispanic Whites"... 🤦♂️

Perusing through sex offender registries all over the country I've found THOUSANDS of Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, and even Blacks listed as "White", yet I've never seen the opposite... 🤔

Sorry Blacks, you're gunna have to take this one as well!
Current accuracy rate at 92%...

I'm trying to wrap this up, but keep finding these:
Meet Dequan the "Non-Hispanic White" pedophile... 🤷♂️

Also, everything you are witnessing in real-time here is just a "cope"...
This is getting out of hand... 🤦♂️
I think I'm going to settle with a 92.27% accuracy rate!
Voila! Is anyone else surprised in the direction these numbers went? Still have a list of 2,590 false positives to go through, and I'll be exporting a spreadsheet with all the data/links as well...
TIP: Be sure to archive these links, I've seen these registries start correcting entries after they caught traction here! #MugshotGame

Asians booked as White: 34
Whites booked as Black: 1

What you are seeing here is 1,157 "Non-Hispanic White" mugshots that my formula flagged as possibly incorrect...
Do you see any issues?
I'm currently double checking 5,000+ entries still listed as "Non-Hispanic White" today...
Not cherry picking any particular order, the entire list looks like this!
Texas black sex offenders just gained an entire percentage point in the past hour! I'm going to release a new chart in the morning. 🤯
Meet Louby Innocent! The "Black" sex offender in Florida, that turned "White" in Texas!
