Or maybe we just over-prosecute our public compared to the rest of the world.

- rayiner 7y agoMaybe, maybe not. One thing we have good data for going back a long time is homicide data. US homicides were 5-10x higher than the UK for the entire 20th century. The last time homicide rates in England was as high as the US is today was the 17th century. (Most of the rest of Western Europe was down to current US levels by the 18th century.) Maybe we’re just a much more violent and criminal country.
