What evidence is there that in-home cameras are a protection against anything? Might be useful in court but any damage is already done. It is a loaded question implying benefits while ignoring every other consequence.

What’s the point of having all kinds of surveillance cameras all over the place if those Soros prosecutors are NOT doing their jobs in practically EVERY Democratic Party-run city in the country????

Oh, hold on a sec…

If the object is to reduce ‘domestic violence’, we’re not talking about traffic cameras on the Interstate or security cameras in commercial establishments and government buildings.

I am not as well educated on statistics as are many here, but I would question relying a survey population of only 2000 people

The sample size is sufficient. The problem is that the collapse of the landline network has removed a convenient way of obtaining probability samples.

it should be encouraging that the most gullible generation is not that gullible, unless you have to deal with that 20%

I think those unnecesary lockdowns, masks and vaccine mandates,’social distancing’ back in 2020 were a trial run for future Big Brotherism

I am not as well educated on statistics as are many here, but I would question relying a survey population of only 2000 people, sliced and diced into age, sex, race, and education categories, as having enough folks in each category to ensure meaningful results or solid interpretations.

Time and cost are limiting factors, of course, and this is not a life and death medical/technical situation; but failure to reverse some of this mindset might well lead to more death than we would like.

(e) anticipating that government will mainly be on their side (the left side?). I would wager that their education in the blessings and even the meaning of liberty has been lacking, as well.

Well, the teachers unions are stoutly biased on the left side, and if their teachings have become more and more authoritative (as are the ‘behavior’ and ‘pronoun’ edicts of DEI), the young sprats now get a decade of authoritarian twaddle which leaves the concept of individual liberty (and tolerance for it) gasping in the mud. Their paintbrush ‘diversity’ carefully excludes such heresies.

Wonder what the current teachings on the scientific method are excluding.

David Foster hints at my thought.

Many people apparently want to respond to tons of emails or survey questions, but think they can do it super fast. The phrasing of the question is quite interesting.

What is this survey person asking me? Am I for domestic violence or against it? Oh, I’m against it. Especially if I’ve had up-close and personal exposure to it.

How about, “government … reduce[ing] … other illegal activity.”? Was that part of the question? They must be talking about domestic violence being against the law.

Most people aren’t that dumb in an absolute sense, but if … if the survey was conducted over the telephone and even smart people were rushing; it can happen.
