Also interesting that there are some other supposedly civilized countries with higher gun-death and crime rates. Clearly it all depends on what “civilized” is perceived to be.
It is possible, if adjusted for population (i.e. crime rates of individual crimes per 100,000), the U.S might be regarded more favorably.
Another measurement metric that might be considered would be the religious make-up of various countries in relation to crime rates.
And some so called civilized nations are not anywhere as free as those of the USA are here. Even many people flee from so called civilized countries to the USA.
