>> Berlin is heavily associated with crime
Can't find 2020 numbers, but all of Germany had 720 murders in 2019. Last year Chicago, which is the main city in one metro area of one state in the US had 774.
Chicago is around 2.5 million people, Germany is 84 million people. From an inner-city US perspective, violent crime in Germany basically does not exist.
- refurb 5y agoI assume people are worried about more than just murder?
- rufus_foreman 5y agoI know I am. Murder is a good proxy for other violent crime though, since it almost always gets reported, and other violent crimes don't.
