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

Which statistics are you looking at? Crime has been dropping since the 90s, with the exception of short term regressions.

You do realize these are still crap compared to other countries right?

Agreed, the world overall is pretty safe these days.

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.

Small rich counties with vast majority homogeneous populations?

You should look at a comparison of American violent crime to other major western nations.

How do the stats look compared to 5, 10, 20, 40 years ago?
