The U.S., however, does not have the demographics of Western Europe. Just like you can't compare Western Europe to Japan (it is much more violent in comparison, but again, different demographics). The US is maybe 50% Europe, 30% Latin America, 8% Asia, 12% Africa, and if you look at the UN intentional homicide tables and take the weighted average by continent, you'll end up with an expected intentional homicide rate of about 5 per 100,000, which is right where the US is. So stop pretending we are Western Europe - we aren't. |
