#2> One in three U.S. adults has been arrested by age 23.
Does that seem crazy to anyone else? I'm in Ireland and can't think of one person in my extended family and friends that has any interaction with the police beyond routine insurance/DUI checkpoints or reporting incidents like car accidents.

Meh, we’re a rebellious group. Honestly though I would be more interested in what percentage of this ratio are repeat offenders.

Definitely not the explanation.

Really high, and crazy, but apparently legit -see https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4443707/#:~:text=Br....

Looking at the PDF they link to, it doesn't say "has been arrested" it says "has criminal record". Maybe those 2 things are the same, but I'm not so sure.

Criminal records would include all misdemeanors.
You can get a misdemeanor without ever being arrested. In some cases trivial things like speeding can be a misdemeanor requiring a court appearance.

That seems exceptionally high, and I'm assuming the study was mostly (all?) urban subjects, which could skew the results heavily. I can't think of more than 2 people I know that have an arrest history, and I know a LOT of (non-urban dwelling) people.

The fact that it's self reported makes me wonder how close to the actual number it is. Also, how did they choose their sample.
