300 murders per year.
The FBI maintains murder statistics for most policing jurisdictions in the US. Many of them are under 2 per 100,000 per year: Sunnyvale, CA; Hercules, CA; Novato, CA, Brookline, MA; the Twin Cities. The rate in Beverly, MA, is 0.946.
Japan's rate is 0.4.
- dleary 2y agoNo, 300 murders total. The population reached ~300k in 1750. A murder rate of 2 per 100k times 300k people equals 6 murders. Multiply that by 50 years to get 300 murders.
- hollerith 2y agoOK. Thanks for the correction. I aspire to make sure I understand a thread before I add to it, but I fell short of my aspiration this time. This doesn't affect my 2nd and 3rd paragraphs though.
