The murder rate in the UK according to US standards is double or higher than their reported rate. It may be impossible to produce an actual apples to apples comparison number from official sources. It is not 15% of the US rate.

Somebody did the work and the math.
Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Just think how much we could reduce the US murder rate by only counting the *outcome* of investigations & trials! Some Politician will figure that out some day.

So, are justifiable homicides being looped in with our “murder” numbers?
Did I just read that?
