Murder *rate* should be population adjusted; something like "murders per million population per year".

I've read several places that if you subtract out gang-banger/urban murders, which are mostly minority-on-minority, murder rates in the U.S. are around the rates in Europe. Look at the murder rate in, say, Idaho or North Dakota; it's pretty low. But it's politically incorrect to say this, and make efforts to address this problem.

you are right about the murder rates, and how un-PC it is to say such a thing. I submit that if U.S. test scores were adjusted in the same manner you'd see that our students are around the top in the world. Of course, if country could pick and choose the sample they'd all be high.

Actually, the proper way to measure the murder rate is by population demographics.

England has a largely homogeneous population of caucasians.

Crime rates of homogeneous populations show that the US caucasians are less violent than the UK's.
