\nA few years back, researching something, I encountered the World Bank website, and was intrigued I hadn’t before. I decided to start using it as a reference, especially since it does keep some interesting statistics.<\/p>\n
\nToday, I came upon the issue of murder rates. I decided to seek an overview from the World Bank, where I noticed a few interesting comparisons.<\/p>\n
\nOne idea I’ve heard over the years is that the crime rate is higher in the US than in Canada. Well, the murder rate does seem to be, at 6 per 100,000 in the US, while 2 in Canada. For perspective, it’s apparently 1 in Italy, France, the UK, and China.<\/p>\n
