- pedroma 6y agoThere's not much point listing homicide rates when it's so much easier to kill someone in America. What's more interesting are cases of violent crimes. Though considering how much more diverse the United States is, it's probably stupid for me to assume France/UK could compete with us on genericized "violent crimes" either.
