Yes I did. US has 3 times more murder then average EU. That is not the same as 6 times more. And some of surplus is one person killing more people, so you then have one person being in prison instead of multiple.

And murder clearance rates are low anyway, so that on itself can't be reason for disparity.

Switzerland has super low murders.
