I don't believe it is possible to actually accurately determine this. Even if you could define crimes the same across countries, many crimes go unsolved so you wouldn't know if it is one criminal or multiple criminals committing crimes. That was my point. The claim was that incarnation of criminals does not lower crime. I am saying we don't know if that is the case.
