Taking facts and charts from Nationmaster.com, and other sources I have heard over the radio and television, America is the #1 highest crime country in the world, beating out Germany, who is the 2nd highest crime country by almost 400%
Firearm related murders and deaths rank in at 8,256 for the U.S. compared to Germanies.384, over 20 times more murders with firearms alone, than the second country on the list.
Alot of people blame this on the society, and video games, and movies, and TV, but ALL of the other modern day countries have the EXACT same things as we do, same TV shows, same video games, same movies shown there as they are here, so that can't be the reason as to why the U.S. crime is so much different.
My question is, why is the American crime rate so outrageously higher than any other crime rate in the world? What is it about the U.S. that makes it different than the rest?
