If you can think of a better way to directly compare murder rates of counties with vastly disproportional total populations, I'd like to hear it.

LOL! just checked that figures out. If you count all kind of murders plus all physical abuse with a deadly ending, there are 2.4 murders for each 100 000 people in sweden... that isn't much

Edit:
Shakka: what is that for kind of newssite? don't trust their figures

Originally posted by LiquidX Sweden is the country with the highest standards of living. In every aspect. I went once on a trip, for like only 2 days though. But it was fascinating. Awesome country. I loved it. Waitresses there arent Swedish, but from other countries.. its like, they wont go that low. For real. They are so prepare against any war and everything else. Its gov't and economy are one of the bests. So it is surprising to see that high killing rate.. really. And the chicks.. OH MY JEEEEZ!!! its heaven!

Well technically Sweden WAS the country with the highest standard of living worldwide- in the 70s and 80s. Its still a quality place, and immigrants/women generally work in the service industry as Sweden is historically not a service industry focus economy, like the US. Thus they tend to show up there...

basically they sit where they are because they abstained from WWII and helped rebuild Europe|

Nr two, some years ago there was an unsuccessful reform of the Swedish psychopathic policies. it has resulted in to many mentally ill people out on the streets. Last year they (the mental ill people...) where up to about 30% of all murders. And yes we are on our way doing a new reform...

Similar to australia in that mental health has a huge lack of funding and there are not enough beds in the hospital for all the mentally ill

Actually read an article about living standards some time ago. They did not only take GDP into consideration, but a lot of other factors. Sweden placed FIRST on that list. So Sweden is the world's best country to live in I think Denmark placed 2 and norway 3 and US somewhere around 20!

And still thoose figures about murders in sweden are WRONG! and i want to know what kind of source that is? Shakka!?

Probably a link fark.com or something. I don't know--certainly not a site I read regularly. Why are you so sure that the data is false?

Checked it up with the swedish authority dealing with crime statistics. According to them there where 219 murders 2002, or 2.4 for each 100 000 people...

and that was included all physical abuse with a deadly ending.. don't know what else they could count in?! so they have to lie about it

I admit, the other site doesn't look very credible.. but where are your sources for your figures?.. or did you just call them?
