The murder rate in the USA is very high compared to its peers, at 6.383 per 100,000.
Canada, for example, has a rate which is almost three times lower at 2.273 per 100,000.
Brazil has a murder rate of 20.606 per 100,000. I think I’ll stick with our tipping culture and lack of public health system.
That’s an interesting question. People like to blame guns, but
The United States’ homicide rate of 3.8 is clearly higher than that of eg France (1.0), Germany (0.8), Australia (1.1), or Canada (1.4). However, as per the FBI, only 11,208 of our 16,121 murders were committed with firearms, eg 69%. By my calculations, that means our nonfirearm murder rate is 1.2. In other words, our non-firearm homicide rate alone is higher than France, Germany, and Australia’s total homicide rate.
That’s from here, which is an interesting but long discussion of the topic:
A massive percentage of yous have been huffing leaded petrol fumes almost directly from exhausts for decades and yous are still wondering why you’re a bunch of murderous warmongering cunts? 😂
I’m using the notation where a period indicates a decimal and a comma separates three digits. The murder rate is twenty and six tenths per one hundred thousand.

Thank goodness this was downvoted! It’s so offensive. Or something. 🙄
Why so high here vs. Canadia?

Edit: I’m not saying guns aren’t part of the explanation, but they don’t appear to account for the majority of the difference.
Ah, SSC. I was going to make a joke about how it’ll get blamed on
black peopleHuman Biodiversity, but Scott actually doesI think it mostly has to do with all the brain damaging chemicals in our water, soil, and air.

I’m brazilian and I was never murdered (joke)
I’d say something about throwing stones in glass houses but most brazilians can’t seem to afford glass windows.
Bro either you converted something wrong or you’re saying a fifth of the population dies every year because of murders

Wait. I use that notation. Don’t mind me
