Murder rate in the US (2010): 4.8. http://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/statistics/Homicide/Globa_study_on_homicide_2011_web.pdf Didn't find those figures, but quoting this very document: "42 per cent of global homicides are actually committed by firearm. Homicides in the Americas are more than three and a half times as likely to be perpetrated with a firearm than in Europe (74 per cent vs. 21 per cent)" "The role played by firearms in homicide is fundamental and, while the specific relationship between firearm availability and homicide is complex, it appears that a vicious circle connects firearm availability and higher homicide levels. Firearms undoubtedly drive homicide increases in certain regions and where they do members of organized criminal groups are often those who pull the trigger." "In many countries with high homicide rates the share of firearm homicides is also greater and is often associated with the illicit activities of organized criminal groups." Also, here are the numbers I find: USA - 5.9 murders/100 000 people (rank 63) = a respectable position (the average being 11.1, but still ranked with third-world countries). I mistook the murder rate for the firearm murder rate, which is the one that places the US at rank 4. | ||

New orleans was a big shock. Other than those, not a whole lot of suprises. All of the us cities on there are notorious for their ghettos. Baltimore and Detroit specifically. My questions is where the fuck is Camden??? Shit's gone soft down there. | ||

I'm actually really surprised some of the smaller cities in China and south west Asia aren't on this list, they are a total mess. I guess they aren't completely doing this per capita because those cities would have ridiculously high rates. not really, we chinese are very peaceful! | ||

Although I don't doubt Chinese cities can't be that bad it would be true China is a nightmare for statisticians because of how closed off their crime reporting is.... I don't think we'll ever get an accurate picture of Chinese city crime rates. | ||

Shit's gone soft down there. Yeah inner city Detriot might as well be a different country. The level of gang related violence that goes on there is astonishing, dozens of kids get gunned down every year fighting over crap neighborhoods. | ||

I say that he cops are so lazy in SA that most the crimes are not reported properly. My friends car was stolen when we went to the local police station they said: ok so what? We were speechless and just left. The rage came later. I bet allot of stats are lost like this. A country like the USA I would imagine would have close to perfect stats. So its sort of unfair this list. But still an eye opener. Also so sad that my country has 4 entries :-( 34 Cape Town South Africa 1.614 3,497,097 46.15 41 Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality (Port Elizabeth) South Africa 381 1,050,930 36.25 49 Durban South Africa 1.059 3,468,087 30.54 50 City of Johannesburg South Africa 1.186 3,888,180 30.50 | ||

Nearly all citys are in north and south america. Maybe they just took the official numbers wich are not reliable everywhere. Expected at least some rusian, african, and maybe palestine citys in there., but maybe its not as bad there as i thought, or other places are even much worse. Not suprised to see only few or even none asian citys. Asia has crime rate even lower then europe. 50-150 kills/100k thats alot  If you would live in such a city for 50 years thats like 5% change to die of murder O-o (off course some groups of people inside a city have way higher risk then other groups) | ||
