| Compared to other major western countries, the US has a serious problem with violent crime in particular. |

| ▲ | WarmWash 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | If you remove like 250sq mi of land from that stat you can cut the violent crime stat by 90%. There are some neighborhoods with more murders in a month than some whole states see in a couple years. | | |
| ▲ | hugh-avherald 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Can't you do that for any epsilon? (i.e. for every e > 0 there exists a area of the United States such that 90% of the crime is in an area < e) | |
| ▲ | SV_BubbleTime 6 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Not popular. We know exactly where the majority of crime is in the US, you are correct, down to the neighborhood. Now… let’s say you were to call the national guard in to safeguard those areas, how do you think that would go over by those cities governors and reaction media? I guess the answer depends on the year. | | |

So, are you using your brain and demanding other systemic changes like free mental-health care and housing? or are you just being a tool and wanting more police violence? |

| Who’s making up the homicide and other violent crime statistics and for what purpose? |

| ▲ | ori_b 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Which statistics are you looking at? Crime has been dropping since the 90s, with the exception of short term regressions. https://jasher.substack.com/p/crime-is-likely-down-an-enormo... | | |
| ▲ | oefrha 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | You do realize these are still crap compared to other countries right? | | |
| ▲ | ori_b 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Agreed, the world overall is pretty safe these days. | | |
| ▲ | oefrha 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | If you’re being sarcastic, well, congratulate yourself for being better than shitholes I guess. If you’re not, yes it is, unfortunately same can’t be said about the U.S., where my not very large social circle have experienced robbery at gun point at a gas station, street mugging, home break-in with everything stolen, smashed car window, all within the past decade. I was more fortunate but still got my bike stolen. |
