I remember reading something while ago that did link high temperatures with higher rates of things like violence. Essentially, being hot all the damn time makes everyone's baseline level of irritability higher and so things escalate more often. Seems a bit counter-intuitive though if we all came from Africa so I'm not sure how true it ultimately is.
In Europe the stereotype is definitely that "blood gets warmer" the more south you go. It certainly holds a bit of truth in my experience, the attitudes in Marseille or Rome are much more spicy than in Berlin, Amsterdam etc.
Exactly. Extremely small population and short duration (just one year’s data) means even a small number of murders in a given year will easily bump it up.
Just checked. With a population of 40k people and a rate of 2.6 murders per 100k, that comes out to a whopping 1 murder. Interestingly, their homicide rate went up by 98.55% in 2021. So.. yeah.. 2 people murdered.
The data is provided by Eurostat. An EU organisation, they are not going to fund numbers for a country not in the EU anymore (some other countries might still join for various reasons.)
If they hold that stance, the graph should not use 'Europe' when they essentially mean 'EU member nations', especially if they omit the UK for the reasons you state as the UK is a part of Europe.
Edit: not sure how difficult this is to understand. Europe is a continent, which includes the UK. The chart says Europe, not EU, whilst omitting a country within Europe.
In this case it is the graph makers laziness to not find extra stats on the UK. On the other part I believe the UK has the choice to join again, especially on side project as Eurostat. If a European country doesn't want to join on European initiatives then I'm bit sure if we should treat them specially. The choice is theirs and it was clearly made.
Eurostat (European Statistical Office; DG ESTAT) is a Directorate-General of the European Commission (...). Eurostat's main responsibilities are to provide statistical information to the institutions of the European Union (EU) and to promote the harmonisation of statistical methods across its member states and candidates for accession as well as EFTA countries.
The US does look bad. There is no make involved. The US homocide / gun deaths numbers are en par to some failed states or those with civil or actual war.
The reason the US looks bad is because the US is bad. You don't need to aim very high... I mean, you don't need to aim at all, or put any effort into it. Just let the US be the US and it already does all the looking bad for you.
I used wikipedia's data that is sourced from UNODC and is apparently for 2021. For states the size of the UK it doesn't really matter, fluctuations are small. Any given year the US will have ~6 times the homicide rate of the UK.
Not sure about that. The 51% who voted against membership still voted for the trainwreck of Tory leaderships.
They won't admit that it was a fuck up, because collapsing an economy, killing workers rights, and plunging more people into poverty than the past 30 years is fair game when you're a racist.
Out-dated British imperial ideals. For some reason a sizable portion of the UK believes they're the most important country in the world because of... Legacy?
Except that legacy has made a lot of bad blood around the world, and the rest of Europe was kind of happy to see the UK go, because the UK always wanted an exceptional place in e edy decision and deal with the EU.
I'm European. But yes, do please tell me how I "misunderstood" things, and not simply made an observation about the sheer arrogance and hubris of the UK, as one of your neighbours.
The leading cause of homicide in the Baltic countries is alcohol. What is interesting is that the victims are usually family members and friends, because you drink at the same table and when you argue, you get angry and it ends badly. It is rare that a person is killed without a connection to the killer, and if it does happen, it makes the national headlines.
During the multiple occupations of the Baltic countries, alcohol was used to control the population. The tsar used it, Stalin used it and now Putin uses it. Alcohol helps to escape from reality and provides comfort. It will take time to overcome the alcoholic generations, measures are being taken to help solve the problem, but you can't change a country where for more than a hundred years alcoholism was the norm.
Maybe you're right. I know very little about the history of the baltics, it never came up even once at school. Also news coverage about it is lackluster at best.
Do you have any specific events/timeperiods I should look into?
Idk, maybe the collapse of Yugoslavia? Perhaps the Ottoman rule and aftermath. Different religions tied to different cultures as a deviding factor seem to stand out to me
Edit: I can't read apparently, disregard my comment.
Why not? Are you some sorta coward? I'll say it: yeah, fascists think a whiter population leads to reduced crime rates. That's because fascists are rubes and imbeciles with such a stunted worldview that they're incapable of considering the effects of any other socio-economic factors such as education, distribution of wealth, etc.
I should hope not, but skirting around it that way with euphemisms like "PCM authright" is the sort of shitlord behaviour I would've expected from someone who does hold that view, so I guess it's a good thing we cleared that up.
I bring it up because new Hampshire is specifically mentioned by the alt right with racist motives. Thanks for implying I'm a shitlord and a coward though that's a great way to win over liberals like me.
A bit surprising seeing us at the top since I rarely feel uncomfortable walking alone during night even through questionable areas. I usually do not even see anyone else so that might be the reason why nothing significant has happened.
Most of those murders probably are from people you know because usually headlines mention something like ″Some guy kills another guy over a bottle of vodka and argument″. Rarely you see in news incidents where murder seems to have happened to random person.
The only recent thing that shook me quite a bit was meeting a guy with large knife. I still do not know if it was just for his own protection and he was some local guard since I was in an industrial area where you would not expect anyone. He was visibly drunk and spoke Russian which I barely know so I did not spend too much time thinking about it and just run the hell away.
It's also better than it was before. In 90s we had a bit of a gangster period. Source.
It’s not so bad in KC except for the gunfire after a Chiefs game…on Independence Day….NYE….in Westport on the weekends….or driving on the highways….during deer season….Election Day….Easter…MLK Day…National Hot Dog Day…Yom Kippur…Black Friday…and on days when the weather is above 40 degrees. But that’s all.
You’re fine on Tuesday nights when it’s snowing outside. Just watch out for ice on the roads. It’s hard to see.
Accidental or negligent acts can be homicides. A homicide is the death of one human caused by another. That’s all. It doesn’t have to be intentional or aggrevated
Though you aren’t wrong because the chart does say “intentional”. It just doesn’t specify what that really means in this context.
Just want to point out the graph maxes out at 12.5 out of 100,000. That’s 0.01% of 100000. With Louisiana’s population of 4.57million, it comes out to 571 people in 2020. Feels pretty low.
It’s most definitely a difference, it is also important to note this chart broke the US down into its states but did not do the same for the larger European countries. Taking data from statistica, Paris has a 10.2, the rest of the country is just so much more peaceful the overall is brought down. If America is taken at a whole it has a 6.3, which is still higher but not astronomically compared to the other countries.
In relation to countries outside of Europe, 571 does not seem astronomically high anymore, more like a miracle. Nearly every country in South America, Asia, and Africa that has data is much higher than the US average.
Also, if you've looked at the same map as I did, that was Guiana with a 10.2, not Paris. Paris is sub 3. All mainland France is sub 3. It's the islands that are bringing up the average, not Paris.
Also, even taken as a whole, the US isn't that well placed when compared to world average. Map that makes it easy to see.
The colour chart in the top right maxes at 12.5. Not the graph. Louisiana passes the 15 mark by a little bit. So that makes it around 700 people up from 571.
i'ld say thats not really a surprise IF you have a system that helps criminals to thrive while it tries hard to always put innocent to jail instead and prevent real investigations for the truth, thats at least how i see it.
Below are some links to related "last week tonight"s from YT.
Plz tell me if thats just a show full of lies or if that terror is real in poor underdeveloped 3rd world US:
(i might have linked videos not too bad, but i think i was horrified by the outcomes of those linked)

Denmark, with a population of 5.8 million in 2020, had 42 (0.72 per 100000). 571 seems absolutely astronomical.

It’s most definitely a difference, it is also important to note this chart broke the US down into its states but did not do the same for the larger European countries. Taking data from statistica, Paris has a 10.2, the rest of the country is just so much more peaceful the overall is brought down. If America is taken at a whole it has a 6.3, which is still higher but not astronomically compared to the other countries.
In relation to countries outside of Europe, 571 does not seem astronomically high anymore, more like a miracle. Nearly every country in South America, Asia, and Africa that has data is much higher than the US average.

Also, if you've looked at the same map as I did, that was Guiana with a 10.2, not Paris. Paris is sub 3. All mainland France is sub 3. It's the islands that are bringing up the average, not Paris.
Also, even taken as a whole, the US isn't that well placed when compared to world average. Map that makes it easy to see.

The colour chart in the top right maxes at 12.5. Not the graph. Louisiana passes the 15 mark by a little bit. So that makes it around 700 people up from 571.

Im a bit suprised where New Hampshire is on the list. They are the little texas of new england and you can not tell anyone from that state what to do.

There are some surprises among the best us states, or maybe I’m just not as familiar with them as I expected

Europe sits further north than the US does.
The homicide rate seems to go down as you move north.
I am willing to bet if you take the most populous cities in each state they'd fall in a similar organization.
So we can reasonably conclude that hot summers make you want to murder a motherfucker.
Obviously. Nothing else could cause this. Nothing.
Clearly thoughts and prayers aren't helping. So it must be the weather.

We need a National crash funding program for air conditioning. That’ll solve it. /s

i'ld say thats not really a surprise IF you have a system that helps criminals to thrive while it tries hard to always put innocent to jail instead and prevent real investigations for the truth, thats at least how i see it.
Below are some links to related "last week tonight"s from YT.
Plz tell me if thats just a show full of lies or if that terror is real in poor underdeveloped 3rd world US: (i might have linked videos not too bad, but i think i was horrified by the outcomes of those linked)
