It's only March. What's that saying about counting chickens?
- cujo 6y agoI think you are (intentionally?) missing the point. Find another country of similar size with no murders for the last 3 months.
- jfax 6y agoSays in the article that Norway had on average, in previous years, 4 to 8 murders in the first three months of a year.
- max_ 6y agoNot an expert here. But don't scanadevians generally have one of the lowest crime rates year over year?
- thatwasunusual 6y agoI don't know why the article focuses so much on "the first X months." From 2010 through 2019, Norway had 298 victims of murder,[1] so 29.8 per year, or 2.5 per month, in average. Things usually "heat up" during the summer when more people are out and about.
