> The US incarcerates more people than China, despite China having more than four times as many people Homicide and incarceration rates per 100k people: homicide | incarceration | incarceration/homicide USA 6.4 | 505 | 79 China 0.5 | 119 | 238 Norway 0.6 | 55 | 92 In other words, China incarcerates 3x as many people per homicide as the USA, and the USA homicide rate is 12.8x that of China. Homicide is used instead of/as a proxy for violent crime, because it is largely immune to bias by overpolicing or racism, which are the usual excuses to dismiss statistics.
