You’re more likely to be murdered in the U.S. than to be killed in a traffic accident in the Netherlands.

My point being, there is a lot of room for improvement in _both_ numbers.

For certain definitions of "you". There are small subsets of the population which account for large percentages of homicides in the US, and they mostly kill each other(gangs).

I, personally, based on my demographics, activities, and location, have a very low chance of being murdered. Less than the average European. But probably more than a European of similar traits to me. But the odds at that point are so low it is really irrelevant in life.
