The Economist

THE thorny task of comparing crime rates across the world is tricky because legal interpretations vary. Sweden's definition of rape is not the same as America’s, for example. Murder however should be easier to record because there is an identifiable victim, something that can be counted. But the way in which this is done in poorer, often more corrupt countries makes truly comparable statistics hard to pin down.

I knew Brazil would be well represented, just not that well represented.

Baltimore has been exclusively run by Democrat mayors since 1967.  St. Louis has been exclusively run by Democrat mayors since 1949.  All the other high crime areas in the US...Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Miami, New Orleans, etc...have likewise been exclusively run by Democrat mayors for decades.

just saying.

I always thought that St. Louis got worse when AB sold out to InBev. The city just seemed to have more homeless.

These cities have exclusively had Democrat mayors since...

St, Louis: Since 1949
Baltimore: Since 1967
Detroit: Since 1962
Chicago: Since 1931
Los Angeles: Since 2001.  Before that, since 1961
Washington D.C. Since 1961
New Orleans: Since 1946
Milwaukee: Since 1960
Atlanta:  Since 1942

...and they all have made the top most violent cities in the US on one list or another.  You're welcome.

St Louis has always been a cess pool. AB selling out had nothing to do with it.

Acapulco surprises me . . . it's such a beautiful place.


Would have thought that Guadalajara would have surpassed it.

It becomes abundantly clear why anyone with money in Brazil has guard dogs that will rip intruders to shreds.

Data is racist. Not a single white majority or plurality city named.
