Even more worthless is comparisons to British murder rates. Crime (non-firearm) is much more violently perpetrated in Britain as compared to America. ( In one stupid argument, I saw an American arguing with a Brit that our criminals were much more civilized LOL)
Why does that make comparisons worthless. Murder = death. Are Brit murder victims more/less dead than ours?
It just a completely different dynamic at work.
Which makes comparisons more difficult, but not worthless by a long shot. IMO.
Do either you or Gautam have a reference for the stuff on violence in Europe or a good starting point for a search.
