  1. Love, Again: on a celi\u00adbate breakup and what hap\u00adpened after.<\/span><\/a> (Wes\u00adley Hill, Com\u00adment Mag\u00ada\u00adzine): \u00e2\u20ac\u0153For a long time, I found absti\u00adnence rel\u00ada\u00adtive\u00adly easy. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not trendy to admit this, but I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t expe\u00adri\u00adence a sex\u00adless adult\u00adhood to be a fate worse than death, in part, per\u00adhaps, because I tried not to rev up my libido by see\u00ading how close I could get to the line of inter\u00adcourse with\u00adout step\u00adping over it\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. What I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t real\u00adize, though, is that, for the inten\u00adtion\u00adal\u00adly absti\u00adnent, giv\u00ading up sex is only part of the deal, and there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s more than one line you can step across.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Not For\u00adget How Wrong Our Crime Data Are<\/span><\/a> (Cathy O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Neil, Bloomberg): \u00e2\u20ac\u0153A year after Trump was elect\u00aded, the num\u00adber of report\u00aded rapes among the Lati\u00adno pop\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion of Hous\u00adton declined by 40 per\u00adcent, a strong indi\u00adca\u00adtion that peo\u00adple became afraid to report the crimes. Police often don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take rape vic\u00adtim\u00ads\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 reports seri\u00adous\u00adly, a prob\u00adlem that is prob\u00ada\u00adbly even worse for male vic\u00adtims. So how can we get a bet\u00adter under\u00adstand\u00ading of the under\u00adly\u00ading rate of crime? Sur\u00adveys typ\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help: Peo\u00adple who get away with com\u00admit\u00adting seri\u00adous offens\u00ades aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like\u00adly to admit it, even if they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re guar\u00adan\u00adteed anonymi\u00adty. The one notable excep\u00adtion is mar\u00adi\u00adjua\u00adna use, which \u00e2\u20ac\u201d though still ille\u00adgal in most places \u00e2\u20ac\u201d is mild and social\u00adly accept\u00adable enough that peo\u00adple are will\u00ading to tell the truth. Hence, if we com\u00adpare the report\u00aded rate of mar\u00adi\u00adjua\u00adna use to the arrest data, we can gain some insight into how use\u00adful the lat\u00adter real\u00adly is. The pic\u00adture isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t pret\u00adty. The lat\u00adest gov\u00adern\u00adment sur\u00adveys, for exam\u00adple, sug\u00adgest that black and white Amer\u00adi\u00adcans use mar\u00adi\u00adjua\u00adna at about the same rate. Yet blacks get arrest\u00aded about four times more often than whites \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and 15 times more often in Man\u00adhat\u00adtan, accord\u00ading to a recent New York Times analysis.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The author has her Ph.D. in math\u00ade\u00admat\u00adics from Har\u00advard Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty. <\/span><\/li>\n
