Compared with its peers, America overall does an unusually poor job of solving killings. The murder clearance rates of other rich nations, including Australia, Britain and Germany, hover in the 70s, 80s and even 90s
And yes, its because the cops are racist and break trust with communities
The fucking pigs are too busy harassing the general populace and being bigoted assholes.
“The murder clearance rates of other rich nations, including Australia, Britain and Germany, hover in the 70s, 80s and even 90s”
For comparison it says the clearance rate (solved or resulting in an arrest) in the US is 58%
That’s insane.
I wonder how much of that difference can be attributed to gun violence. I’m not anti gun, but few countries have gun laws as lax as the US so there’s a larger number committed by guns which may be more difficult to solve. The sale of guns themselves are not always tracked, and gun violence is something that can be done from afar and not leave as much evidence. We’re also quite a large country with very populous cities. Berlin has 3.7 million people and is the most populous EU city. NYC has over twice that. Much easier to solve crime in a town of a few hundred people than in large cities, which the US has more of.
Bet if you subdivide the murder cases solved by victim’s income level you’ll find something way more interesting, NYT.
Victim race too.
Also if they were homeless or a sex worker.
How would they know how many murderers it is if they get away? What if its just one very very sneaky murderer??
What’s needed is a program that analyzes and pinpoints the conditions that create violent behavior and uproots them (for example, living in scarcity with no economic security and feeling marginalized, having no empathetic communal support system, etc.)

That will embolden criminals about as much as the president publicly committing crimes on TV and getting away with it
“Maybe another billion dollars for police to jerk off in their cruisers and collect overtime at the expense of all other municipal budgets will help!” - Political discourse in this fucking country
Problem is that what we dont need is beat cops who go around harassing people because their skin is too dark. What we actually need is detectives capable of catching killers and fences, but the incentives are to go harass minorities
probably about the gap is murders done by american police
You should buy more tanks for the police. Or fighter jets, you can bomb murderers from fighter jets, right?
Or just buy a bunch of D9s and demolish the lives of all the people you don’t like like the IDF does.
No body no crime
I love that song
So Luigi should have used SO4?
Is incorrectly labeling someone as legally dead considered a crime? Like, equivalent to manslaughter or murder depending on intent?

I was thinking more in line with the recent DOGE actions that resulted in people being incorrectly added to the legally dead database.

Don’t tempt me, lol
Learning this statistic does not make murder more appealing. Guess I’m not a psycho. And thank god for that, you know? It seems like it would be such a hassle.

Not defending America in any way but these stats can be manipulated just by not taking cases that seem unsolvable or refusing to call them murder.
Edit: As an example, Japan closes 95% of the murder cases it opens. There is a 99% conviction rate on accused murders. Yakuza exists, so these numbers don’t add up.
You know you’re right, it’s probably even worse in America than the data shows.
Yes. That’s correct and goes along with my point. These numbers represent very incomplete data no matter what country you look at.
