Is Oklahoma’s voter participation affected by its incarceration rates? - Oklahoma Watch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Although not all incarcerated individuals are convicted of felonies, those in Oklahoma are barred from voting until they complete their sentences, including any parole and probation, which reduces the number of voting-age individuals eligible to vote. These decreases vary by state, with disenfranchisement laws ranging from nonexistent to permanent for people with criminal convictions. Thus, despite having the fourth-highest incarceration rate in the country – nearly 1.5 times the nationwide rate
Did Oklahoma rank No. 17 in education under a Democratic governor in the 2000s? - Oklahoma Watch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oklahoma ranked No. 17 in education in Education Week’s 2011 report and has since fallen to No. 49 in its most recent report, 2021. The rankings include other metrics, such as success odds and financial analysis. For student achievement, which includes NAEP fourth- and eighth-grade reading and math scores, Oklahoma ranked No. 35 and No. 48 in 2011 and 2021, respectively. Focusing on NAEP scores, Oklahoma’s results were once above average, peaking at No.17 in the late 1990s, before holding mid-to
Do Fewer Than Four in 10 Oklahomans Participate in Presidential Elections? - Oklahoma Watch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
1,566,173 Oklahomans voted in the 2024 presidential election, which is about 39% of Oklahoma’s total population – but that includes children and others ineligible to vote. 53% of the voting-eligible population and 64% of those registered to vote participated in the 2024 presidential election. Both rates are markedly under their national counterparts of 64% and 89% – consistent with historical trends. The average eligible turnout rate from 2002-2024 in Oklahoma was 46%, compared to 52% nationally
Does 2% of the population cause 80% of crime? - Oklahoma Watch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Available data show that small subsets of offenders account for large shares of some crimes, but these shares vary by measure and crime type and cannot be extrapolated to all crimes. No authoritative U.S.-wide finding shows that 2% of the total population commits 80% of all crime. One Swedish study involving all people born from 1958-1980 found that about 1% of the study population were persistent offenders who accounted for 63.2% of all violent crime convictions. A study in the United States fo
Does Oklahoma have among the highest rates of rape? - Oklahoma Watch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oklahoma had the third-highest forcible rape rate at 59.7 per 100,000 people in 2024, according to a Statista analysis of federal data. That’s 1.6 times the national rate of 37.5 rapes per 100,000 people, but less than half of that of Alaska, which had the highest rate by far at 122.1. The rate nationwide has decreased from 42.6 in 2019, the last year the FBI released its state-by-state Crime in the United States report. Oklahoma’s rate increased from 57.3. Despite fluctuations, the 2024 nationa
