Apparently (judging by the trend) in 2017, Russia will set a record for the minimum number of murders per 100,000 population for the entire time of this indicator measurement. We will also go below the global average murder rate of 6.5-6.8 per 100,000 population.
Or will you still say that the statistics are far-fetched and "fitted"?
Well, since on the topic (you can compare it with us), I propose to compare the crime of the United States vs Canada.
By Vox Canadae
So, first, let's talk about what characterizes crime in general, what global features it has in Canada and the United States. The biggest and very first difference is the nature of the crimes. Since in the USA it is allowed not only to own, as in Canada, but also to carry a weapon, in the USA a huge number of crimes are committed with the use of firearms, that is: robberies, murders - all this happens with the use of firearms, or automatic, or just some kind of pistols. On the contrary, in Canada the situation is very good, that is, according to statistics, many, many times the number of crimes committed with the use of firearms in Canada is less than in the United States.
However, the fly in the ointment is added by the fact that in Canada there are much more crimes related to theft and theft. The next moment. The number of disadvantaged areas, regions in the United States is much greater than in Canada. I have already said more than once that there is such a routine amendment related to the comparison of life in the United States and Canada - this is the number of people who live in the territory of these two countries. Let me remind you once again that Canada is home to a little over 40 million people, while in the United States there are about 300 million people. However, let's talk about some of the features of the life of these two countries - Canada and the United States - in the context of specific crimes. Well, let's talk, for example, about drugs.
Canada is one of the largest producers and exporters of, say, marijuana in the United States, and, accordingly, a large amount of marijuana is consumed here on the domestic market. Actually, marijuana is perhaps the only really widespread drug in Canada. What can we say about the same category, but regarding the USA? In this country, the most common drug is cocaine, the second most common drug is marijuana again. In this case, the main exporters of cocaine for the United States are Mexico and Colombia. Accordingly, Canadian marijuana exports are happily diluted with Mexican marijuana exports. And I understand that this is exclusively a matter of geography, that is, the northern part of the United States consumes Canadian marijuana, the southern part of the Mexican. At the same time, a huge amount of depressants, stimulants, and methamphetamine are produced and consumed in the USA. And the United States is one of the largest markets for money laundering, just obtained through the sale of drugs. The next moment. The situation I already mentioned is the murder rate. Accordingly, in Canada there are about 2 murders per 100 thousand people; in the USA there are 5 murders for the same number of inhabitants.
Crimes that involve the use of firearms in Canada lead to the death of 140-150 people, while in the United States the same figure is about 9.5 (!) Thousand people - this is an average of murders per year in Canada and the United States. Let's compare 140 - 150 and 9.5 thousand. The number of police officers for Canada and the United States. Canada has 191 police officers per 100,000 people; in the United States there are 243 police officers per 100 thousand people.

Next, rape. Again, the number of rapes per 100 thousand people. In Canada, 1.7, that is, almost 2 rapes, per 100 thousand people; in the USA - attention, my friends! - 27.5 rapes per 100 thousand people. Again, compare 2 and 27 - the difference is very, very significant, as you can see. The next moment. Armed robberies, again the number per 100 thousand people: in Canada 94; in the USA 150. Now the data from several years ago on the total number of crimes that are committed. But, in fairness, we must again make an amendment to the ratio of residents. So, the total number of crimes that are committed in Canada is about 2.5 million; in the United States - just under 12 million. What other interesting numbers are there? The total number of kills (again data from statistics,taken a few years ago) in Canada was 554 units and 13 thousand (!) in the USA.
Again, the ratio of rapes in absolute terms: 576 in Canada; in the USA 85 thousand (!). In general, somehow it turns out like this. It is also interesting to note such a thing as the ratio of different types of crimes, that is, in general, how often or rarely they are committed. The average homicide rate is 1.8 per 100 thousand people in Canada and 5.5 in the United States. Aggressive Weapon Attacks: 143 in Canada and 324 in the United States, again a proportion per 100,000. Armed robberies: 88 in Canada per 100 thousand people and 145 in the United States. Burglaries - here, my friends, what is the global difference between the United States and Canada - happens much more often in Canada than in the United States: 954 versus 728, respectively. The next indicator, again higher in Canada, is car theft: in Canada 521 per 100 thousand; in the USA 414. And in fact, theft, simple, banal theft,theft; again, almost equilibrium: in the USA there are 2,475 per 100 thousand people; in Canada 2,224.
This is the situation. From all of the above, we can conclude that Canada is a country of kleptomaniacs, a country of criminals who prefer to dishonestly obtain other people's property through burglary, through theft of cars, while avoiding the use of firearms in every possible way; that is, "humane", "polite" people use psychological pressure on the owners, or using their absence, they get their property. Purely my opinion: I would, frankly speaking, prefer that, tfu-tfu-tfu, I lived in a country where people solve issues in such a way than in a country where people will threaten me with a machine gun, a pistol or something else. And I think that most of the people who listen to this video will be in solidarity with me. What else is interesting about the statistics I've seen? Another interesting data on the comparison of cities,who are leaders in criminal life. Again, I have statistics for millionaire cities, and let's go over Canadian cities first and then American ones. So, the leader, the undoubted leader, among the Canadian cities in terms of crime is the city of Winnipeg, it leads in almost all categories, except for theft. In theft, he gives the palm to Vancouver by a large margin.
Next, the number 2 city for crime is Montreal. Despite the fact that this is the most attractive city in Canada for me, I must, unfortunately, admit the fact that Montreal holds a confident 2nd place in terms of the number of murders, robberies, burglaries, and thefts. Number 3 in our rating - Vancouver, respectively, for robbery, burglary, car theft, this city takes 2nd place, and for attacks - 3rd place and for theft, as I said, it is number 1.
The next city at number 4 in our ranking is Edmonton, number 5 is Toronto. Despite the fact that, my friends, Toronto is the largest city in terms of population, as you can see, it is the 5th in terms of crimes. And number 6 is Calgary. This is the situation we have with Canadian cities. Now, my friends, let's move on to American cities. The leader of our ranking for the most criminal cities in the United States is, without a doubt, Los Angeles, number 2 - Detroit (we are talking about the number of murders), number 3 - Dallas (be careful!), Number 4 - Philadelphia, number 5, amazing to be honest, I thought this city would be among the leaders, but nevertheless number 5 is New York, number 6 is Houston, number 7 is Washington, and number 8 is Phoenix. Next, let's go through the categories of other crimes;as for aggravated attacks: the leader is again Los Angeles, number 2 - New York, number 3 - Detroit. As for the robberies: number 1 is still the truth! - this is New York, number 2 is again Los Angeles, number 3 is Philadelphia, amazing. Burglaries (we go down to the south on the map): the most frequent incidents of this type occur in the city of Phoenix, and there are almost 2 times more of them than in the same Los Angeles, and almost 3 times more than in New York, although there are only 3 million inhabitants in Phoenix, and 9 million people in New York; next: number 3 - Houston, number 2 - Dallas. The next category is car thefts: number 1 is again Phoenix, number 2 is Dallas, number 3 is Houston.number 1 - after all, that's the truth! - this is New York, number 2 is again Los Angeles, number 3 is Philadelphia, amazing. Burglaries (we go down to the south on the map): the most frequent incidents of this type occur in the city of Phoenix, and there are almost 2 times more of them than in the same Los Angeles, and almost 3 times more than in New York, although there are only 3 million inhabitants in Phoenix, and 9 million people in New York; next: number 3 - Houston, number 2 - Dallas. The next category is car thefts: number 1 is again Phoenix, number 2 is Dallas, number 3 is Houston.number 1 - after all, that's the truth! - this is New York, number 2 is again Los Angeles, number 3 is Philadelphia, amazing.

And finally, just theft. Where is kleptomania in the lead? This is again Phoenix, Dallas, my friends, and Houston.
