"With results like these, again, is there really an argument for these cameras? Police seem to be doing just fine without them."
Sure. That's conviction rate btw.
"The higher U.S. conviction rate for murder is explained entirely by the higher U.S. murder rate. According to the most recent statistics on crime (1996) and the justice system (1994 in the United States, 1995 in England), the U.S. murder rate is nearly six times the English murder rate (figure 5). Correspondingly, the U.S. murder conviction rate per 1,000 population is nearly six times England's (.059 versus.010) (figure 19)."
No studies I've read have found any differences when comparing effects of beer/wine/spirits etc. consumption. The relevant factor seems to be the amount of absolute alcohol consumed. Well, those studies concentrated mainly on the negative effects of alcohol consumption, but I'd feel pretty confident generalizing the results. There are some studies that seem to suggest health benefits of red wine, but the results are kind of unclear.
