But five million is not "a tiny country". It's the fourth decile or so. It's slightly larger than Los Angeles in population and apparently Los Angeles homicide rate has oscillated in the 5.0-6.3 per 100k region between 2010 and 2019, with annual ±10% fluctuations. That's way less than ±50% that you expect for the same population.
- chmod775 6y agoYou do realize you're posting in a thread where someone just posted an article saying the number of homicides this year so far in Norway were 0? Last year they had 31.
- jhgb 6y agoHow is that relevant for the claim whether five million is or isn't tiny? It's not tiny, as the comment I responded to was claiming.
