I believe it was Sundancefisher that stated that the U.S. has the highest crime rate of any "1st world country".

Here is some stats from 2004, that show all the countries by rate of murder. Which is mostly a reliable stat. I say mostly, as some do not consider it a murder, if the murderer is not caught. Some of the murders are actually manslaughters, infanticide in some countries is not counted, sick as it may be. Et cetera.

Also, some fairly violent countries show a low murder rate. I guess war doesn't count, or some are swept under the rug...

This actually shows U.S. as having a lower than average murder rate globally.
