i'm working on some statistical analysis of child abuse data made public by the royal commission.

while i'm working on this, can someone here do me a favor and look up the peak publisher figures reported by watchtower for the australian branch for each of the years from 2005 through 2014?

my thanks in advance.

It'll be interesting to see what you come up with.

It's clear though that the global figures are shocking.

Ah ok, interesting you've noticed that. I was wondering if there was perhaps a correlation between the figures and how they were handling matters. Seems you may be on to something! ;)

If not please rephrase your question.

Ok.

For the whole dataset I got 1857 victims and 1006 abusers. This calculates to an ratio of 1.85 victims per abuser.

I'm curious as to this ratio for the 10 year data slice you have extracted, as it appears from the figures you've produced that the ratio will be lower for the latter 10 years than for the dataset as a whole - which would suggest there's a downward trend.

Also if you can separately determine the ratio for the period prior to 2005 we can absolutely confirm if there is a downward trend.

What ratio did you identify from your statistical slice? It's evidently lower than for the whole data.

@sir82 we're extrapolating the figures worldwide

What rules did you use in cases where the victim count is unstated or shown as a minimum value?

From the thread referenced:

'10+' could mean any number 10 and above, and 'Unclear' could mean any number 1 and above.

These were not being counted in the total.

I replaced all the '10+' with the number 10, and all the 'Unclear' with the number 1...

The total number of victims on this list is 1857.

This means the ratio is 1857 victims / 1006 abusers = 1.85/1 ratio

In the 1006 thread I calculated the ratio (conservatively) to be 1.85 victims per abuser.

So with 28,827 known abusers, using the ratio of 1.85 victims per 1 abuser, this suggests there have been 53,330 child abuse victims in the 10 year period 2005-2014.

Those children could fill a convention stadium!

@Oubliette

I did a bit of work on fastJehu's spreadsheet...

'10+' could mean any number 10 and above, and 'Unclear' could mean any number 1 and above.

These were not being counted in the total.

I replaced all the '10+' with the number 10, and all the 'Unclear' with the number 1...

The total number of victims on this list is 1857.

This means the ratio is 1857 victims / 1006 abusers = 1.85/1 ratio
