A Correction

In a recent post, I wrote:

"I had an email exchange the other day with the lead author of the schizophrenia and violence paper. He assured me that, in terms of absolute risk, schizophrenics were not more violent than the rest of the population. He said he's troubled to see how the TAC people and others are using his results. "They know better," he wrote."

There are two errors in that graf. I wrote absolute risk. I should have written relative risk. Yep, there's a difference. Two, I not only misquoted my correspondent, but I misapplied the bad quote to the wrong point. The correspondent was not criticizing TAC.

I regret the errors.
