You don't understand how stats are generated and why America would higher but more accurate reporting than a country like India for some crimes.

India was a bad example by them, but their point is correct. A better example would be that the US has a higher murder rate than every country in Europe other than Latvia. That includes major developed countries like Germany, the UK, France, and Italy. And its not a small difference, the US murder rate was roughly 4x each of those mentioned countries in 2024.

Or your love of stats probably ends at the fact that most violent crime is concentrated to a handful of zip codes in major cities you'll never visit anyways.

This is an often repeated statement that I used to believe myself, then I actually did the research instead of parroting it. In terms of per capita murder, Mississippi and Louisianna make the worst neighborhood of Chicago look amazing. A rate of 25/100k for an entire state is insane considering that the worst country in Europe (Latvia) is at 4, and all but 3 countries in Europe are below 1.5/100k. South side Chicago is the only real place where this applies, but for most other cities like LA and Houston the crime is much more spread out. The safest places in the US (by far) is the northeast, which actually has a similar crime rate to Western Europe. The rest of the country... not so much.
