A 2016 article by the American Journal of Medicine claims that homicide rates in the U.S. are 7 times higher than an average of other "High income countries." This conclusion is based on a select list of OECD nations compiled in 2010.
Turkey, Estonia, and Latvia have murder rates comparable to those in the U.S. Mexico exceeds the U.S. by about 4 times.
Only when the U.S. is compared with affluent Western nations that were never under the iron curtain does its murder rate far exceed all other in the sample.
Does this mean there is a "Critical mass" for gun ownership where the murder rate increases exponentially? If this is true, why do heartland states with the highest levels of gun ownership have some of the lowest murder rates in the U.S.?
According to data from WHO, the adolescent fertility rate in the U.S. far exceeds that of Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
When comparing the U.S. to other Western nations with higher levels of teenage pregnancy, the U.S. murder rate is nowhere near the top.
The murder rates in these states concurs with FBI data showing that African Americans commit half the homicides even though they make up only 12% the overall U.S. population.
