More importantly, I'd like to point out that, if you're only looking at the number of murders, of course the US will be higher, they have a significantly larger population. You've got to look at ratios.
yeah, your right but I didn't need to I could get sense of scale without that
UK population is about 1/5 of the US so I should have been comparing the 2002 '9,300' figure with 70, not 14
I'm sure there are lots of other corrections but its ballpark.
Most people I know are astonished by the ballpark figures.
