I think this has to do with a lot of different things. One being a
mesh of ideologies here in the states. Another being what's actually
being reported in other countries. Also population, even though I know
someone is going to bring up percentage. From what I've seen, the
denser the population, the higher the crime rate. I think it might be
a building frustration/rage thing. You'd think the more neighbors you
had, the more neighbors you'd know. But it seems to be just the
opposite. Instead, the more neighbors you have, the more people you
end up hating.

see it?
I've avoided this discussion, but...
The key statistic is the murder rate, not the crime rate. The US
murder rate is ten times Japan's. We have the highest murder rate of
any developed country, unless you count Russia.
