The USA's murder rate is about 4x the UK's, so it's no big surprise that any given city's rate might be about 4x as well.

Actually I was wrong the murder rate is as bad as the late 90s:https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/murd...

Actually almost... E.g. the murder rate in the US is about 5x higher than in the UK, in Canada it’s “only” 2.5x lower, though.

Homicide rate is 5-10x larger in US than Europe.

Are you sure? I had us murder rate as about 6 per 100k and Uk at 11 per million so much less than us.[1] https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/murd....[2] <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati

What are you looking at? According to Wikipedia(1), it is 3.9/100,000 in the USA, and 16 in the Americas. From the source(2), it was less than 1 in the USA by 1800.There also variable crime by region in America. Baltimore, St Louis, Detroit and New Orleans have homicide rates around 50. That's higher than any country in Africa or the Middle East.1 - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate#By_country" rel="nofollow"

You get into all sorts of radical variances when you dig into locational data eg across the US.The common US murder rate where ~95% of the population lives, is closer to Canada typically, at around 1.5 to 2.5. Then you have extreme murder rate areas in the worst parts of eg Baltimore and Chicago that blow the scale up (Baltimore hit 56 per 100k for 2017, with more murders than NYC). Several dozen neighborhoods in those cities account for a truly incredible share of the US murder rate. People
