Ok you are number one in crime rate. IF ONE SIMPLY COUNTS THE CASES!

Dont forget, the US has a population of 300 000 000 people. Conclusive crimemates are done by numbering the number of crimes by 100 000 people.
For which I only have the statistics on the homicide rate, since I couldn`t find one which includes all crimes.
But if you would care to take a look at it, you would notice that there are alot of "western" nations which in terms of homicide are alot worse of than the US, out of which I conclude that the overall crimerate is certainly higher in other "western" nations.

I never said that one shouldn`t solve a problem simply based on the argument that others are worse of, I generaly believe that one should only orientate oneself on the best when attempting to solve a problem.
But you cannot argue, that the US is worse off than all western countries. That is simply not true.
