Is Christianity the answer?

[John Galt]

highest crime rate per capita in the world (all crime) is iceland which is roughly 5x more crime ridden than the US. canada is twice as full of crime as the US. of the G7 the lowest three are Japan and then Italy and the US (which are very close in crime rate, Japan is significantly less). the other G7 countries are way worse than the US. the phillipines, burma and nepal are the lowest. of course, mexico is listed lower than the US, since per this is per capita and ALSO depends on the willingness of local authorties to report the crime but that's what we have for numbers.

iceland is 95% christian
italy is 85% christian
us is 78% christian
japan is 57% "unaffiliated" (shinto, really)
phillipines is 84% christian
burma is 80% buddist
nepal is 80% hindu

i'd say there really is no correlation

It's funny when Westerners encounter functional prison system. "What is this?!?! Where are the beatings and constant sexual assaults? Why do they get stuff? How come they aren't being treated miserably?"

It kills me.

Poland needs to increase its budget, any problems it has now are due to lack of spending. Other than that they follow the Scandinavian model and it is vastly superior.

iceland has highest crime per capita in world and has wait lists for prisons.

exploited on this system: "functional"

in fact, all of scandinavia has high crime, between twice and 5 times as much crime as the united states

"functional"

Morality is a dying custom here. To bad really, especially for future Americans.

[John Galt]

did you just double down and again indicate that having relatively astronomical amounts of crime is indicative of a "functional" prison system?

[spacemonkey]

The so called savages that live in jungles have no prison system. So, who really leads who?
