We have been made aware of the fact that Yesmap's (now disabled) Matrix server was entered under false pretenses by the hostile editor of a supposed "MAP" website some months ago. While some screenshots/logs have been shared (including those of members suffering from mental-health and legal problems), no personally identifying information has been leaked. We are currently compiling a dossier of malicious and criminal activity we believe the publishers of this website are responsible for, and will soon publish and promote it.
Actuarial testing
Actuarial (risk related) testing has been used to determine the likelihood of a sexual offender re-offending at the sentencing stage of court proceedings in many legal systems.
A typical actuarial test will establish its norms from a large sample of offenders, making note of their characteristics and re-offending rates. The subject under review will be tested and compared to these norms, and the risk of re-offending will then be determined and taken into account at sentencing.
The role that actuarial tests have to play in hyping, undermining or introducing proportional response to the sentencing of a subject is disputable, and dependent upon the test itself. There has been some dispute as to whether actuarial tests can be used to pinpoint or dismiss mental abnormalities in court cases.[1]
