You have threshold effects. Assuming equivalent distribution, the higher the amount of people, the higher the amount of extremely difficult cases.

- DanBC 11y agoSure, the US is going to have more very difficult cases because it has more people. Let's skim those very difficult cases off for the moment: why can't the US make better use of concepts like restorative justice and rehabilitation for the rest of the criminal justice population? It's cheaper; it's more effective to reduce crime; it's better for the children involved; etc etc etc.

We already do this - each state runs their system independently, just as each EU member state does instead of having a single European prison system.
