Kind of scary and neat how Saudi Arabia has low crime.

No solid evidence but I'm guessing that's representative of false reporting considering their government is authoritative

I thought the cruel punishments were just effective.

The numbers are low there because people only have two hands, so can only be caught stealing twice. Maybe a 3rd... but you gotta be real dedicated.

The government chops off heads in the parking lot every week. That's got to be a drag on the supply side of criminality. Europe did that for a thousand years and it led to the most productive society in history.

Yes, but I also suspect that if the punishment for stealing a candy bar were limb removal (not saying it is), than (if I were a cop) I would be much more likely to look the other way when I see kids stealing candy.

But this is just based on each individual country's crime rate according to themselves? That doesn't feel like anything worth comparing and it doesn't really say much.

This is entirely too subjective. Different countries have different laws and different reporting standards.

Hello, I understand that the US is not multiple countries but I think it is large enough to justify breaking it down by state. Just an opinion.

Edit: this probably applies to other large countries but I didn't think of them because I'm an American idiot

Excluding crimes each government commits, obviously…
