the true murder rate should be higher than the general population because its a boys school and men are carrying out more murders than women. but I assume its still higher once you account for that.
- btilly 4y agoGood point. But looking at https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/VC.IHR.PSRC.P5?locations=GB https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/VC.IHR.PSRC.P5?location... it looks like the homicide rate already was single gender. Even the peak rate in 2002 (probably skewed upwards by Harold Shipman) is well below the current world average. And UK rates have been low for many decades. 2002 is the peak of a rise in homicides starting around 1960, and it had been low since at least the 1800s. I dug in a bit farther. Only about 5% of Eton's students are international. So let's lose them, and also lose the older murderer and the international murderer. Even using the highest murder rate from 2002, there is less than a 1% chance that they'd have had 2 or more murderers in a 30 year period.
