You didn't mention any rate prior and you provide no supporting evidence, multiple sources for each is preferred. Is this supposed 60x higher rate per day or per person?
and as others have said, comparing a city (urban) to a whole country (mixed) is silly
- janalsncm 1y agoThe rate is per 100k people over a year, which is how homicide rates are usually reported. To my understanding, these numbers aren’t disputed. Singapore is a city and NYC is a city. Of course no comparison will be perfect, but the significant difference in safety will not go away through clever accounting.
