Clearly not according to their source. Do you have any data to back up your claim?

You’re comparing people penalized with number of recorded instances. Those are two wildly different statistics.

One figure refers to recorded "crimes", the other to actual imprisonments.

Do you understand that the two are simply not comparable, and that there's obviously no analogy here? Even the alleged offenses aren't even comparable.

This isn't just one extremely basic logical fallacy you're making, but two.
