German judges have discretion to apply rehabilitative juvenile criminal law (Jugendstrafrecht) or punitive adult criminal law to 18–20-year-old offenders. We show that immigrant youths are ~10 percentage points less likely to be sentenced under juvenile law

Überraschend, dass das ZDF-Politbarometer diese Umfrage so verzerrt darstellt: Statt nach der Originalaussage von Merz zu fragen, die tagelang diskutiert wurde, wird in der Umfrage seine späte Rechtfertigung ergänzt. In der Grafik wird das aber gar nicht erwähnt. So geht Framing.

"[...] economic segregation appears as roughly three times bigger when considering wealth instead of income. When disaggregating for percentiles, higher values of wealth segregation appear to be mostly driven by the segregation of the most affluent segments of society."

Vor ziemlich genau 8 Jahren hat Jörg Meuthen, ehem. Vorsitzender der AfD, gesagt, er sehe in den Innenstädten "noch vereinzelt Deutsche". Die Vorsitzende der CDU, Angela Merkel, hat ihm umgehend widersprochen. Friedrich Merz hat heute die Sprache und Position der AfD übernommen.

There was lots of data to play with for #TidyTuesday this week where we're looking at the power of different passports! ✈️
I decided to try out the idea of using small multiples and highlighting to untangle a spaghetti chart with lots of lines 📊
