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

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

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.

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.

No way Ireland or New Zealand have more crime than The Netherlands or Spain!

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.

Because the punishment is really severe

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.

Europe chopping heads off for punishment? Can you show the evidence?
