I just wonder how countries with more crime per capita are found the most safer place by Forensic Technologies Inc. May be they include and offer of “statistic a la carte” when purchasing they products.
NicoDin, I wish you would apply the same rigorous thought in your analysis of the Falkland issue...
Apr 30th, 2010 - 10:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 01. NicoDin, seems your United Nations data confirms the article. Can't you read your own post? Argentina has the highest crime rate: 0.32 is MORE than 0.0094 or 0.038... Learn your maths! High crime rate is BAD... low is GOOD...

May 01st, 2010 - 09:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0You are right there is a typing error I forgot 1 zero haha.
The exact figure would be for Argentina 0,032
So here the list with the correction:
Costa Rica:
Total population: 4,253,877
Total crime: 40,263
Crime Rate: 0,0094
Argentina:
Total Population: 40,913,584
Total crime: 1,340,529 cases
Crime rate: 0,032
Chile:
Total Population: 16,601,707
Total crime: 593,997 cases
Crime rate: 0,035
Uruguay:
Total population: 3,494,382
Total crime: 134,010 cases
Crime rate: 0,038
Canada: 33,487,208
Total Population:
Total crime: 2,516,918
Rime rate: 0,075
The formula is quite easy C (Crime) / P (Population)= x ratio.
