Reply to comment by pk10534 in Police Killings per Capita v Homicide Rate per Capita for Select OECD Countries [OC] by dr5c

For 1 money is the main divider in the world so it makes sense to use it as a baseline for comparison. You make good points tho it is not the end all be all.

I totally agree income is part of the puzzle, I just can’t stand when it seems like people dismiss certain nations from comparison to the US because it would hurt their narrative (for instance, when the Washington post made a graph for violent crime in OECD countries to talk about violence in the US, but left out Mexico).

For sure. Talk to Amy middle class person from Monterey and they are more culturally like people in the US than almost any European.
