I wish I could makeup numbers like this. It’s whole different story in the streets of Dr.
9.93 / 100k is still a lot
I agree I just checked our rate in Canada is 2.25 per 100,000. It would be interesting to see what percentage is a result of domestic violence, the result of street crime and so on. Here most murderers are related to victim or are friends of the victim.
