“Surely not!” And then with a heavy sigh, I remembered Baltimore.

Why is Mississipi not first on this list too? Louisiana seems off the charts. Any explanation for that?

What's the reason for excluding so many european countries in this graphic?

[–] frosty99c@midwest.social 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The UK not being included makes me think that these are only EU member countries? I don't know for sure though.

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Switzerland is included though. I'm thinking it's just data availability.

As with all EU policy, the purpose is to make the USA look bad. This is the only reason Russia is not even in the EFTA or the EU.

I have insider information that powers are play are trying to engineer a way to kick out Latvia to make the statistics more embarrassing to you.

PS: UK 1.48, Switserland Not a country, Russia 6.8, Belarus 2.32, Ukraine 3.84 pre-war, Moldavia 2.27 USA 6.38

I don't think adding Russia will make the difference you think it will, since it's barely more violent than the US.

The UK would be 1.00 on this chart - source

[–] freeman@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

I used wikipedia's data that is sourced from UNODC and is apparently for 2021. For states the size of the UK it doesn't really matter, fluctuations are small. Any given year the US will have ~6 times the homicide rate of the UK.

It looks like their source was the Eurostat Data Browser. Maybe these are just the countries it has data for?

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 6 points 3 days ago

Whenever you see a map with data about most European countries but not the UK, it's probably Eurostat. After Brexit they stopped sharing their data.

so many

Two countries are being left out. Is two a high number to you?

Alabama: "We aren't Mississippi!"

Guess they can include a few others too.

Just want to point out the graph maxes out at 12.5 out of 100,000. That’s 0.01% of 100000. With Louisiana’s population of 4.57million, it comes out to 571 people in 2020. Feels pretty low.

I didn't expect my state to be in 2nd place. I guess I should keep staying away from st Louis and KC. And Jeff city. And probably springfield.

Hmm Mord means murder though, not homicide, that would be Totschlag. Also there is a note in the sidebox that the graphs include attempted murders.

Hmm. Pennsylvania. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Philly.
