I think this makes a really poor argument for the under-policed part of their claim; on the first graph, the US is not an outlier in terms of police per 100k, only in our number of prisoners per 100k. We could have fewer prisoners without having more police. In addition to being more humane, this could save money, decrease inequality, etc. Relative to other rich countries, we have more homicides. But if you look at homicides/100k vs Gini index for all countries, we're right in the middle of the pack. Perhaps if we actually want less crime, we should try to create a more equal society. https://www.gapminder.org/tools/#$ui$projector:true;&model$markers$bubble$encoding$y$data$concept=vc_ihr_psrc_p5&source=wdi&space@=country&=time;;&scale$domain:null&zoomed:null&type=log;;&x$data$concept=gini&source=fasttrack&space@=country&=time;;&scale$domain:null&zoomed:null&type:null;;&frame$value=2018;&trail$data$filter$markers$esp=2018&est=2018&ltu=2018&bra=2018&mex=2018&col=2018&uga=2018&ind=2018&usa=2018;;;;;;;;&chart-type=bubbles&url=v1 https://www.gapminder.org/tools/#$ui$projector:true;&model$m...
