Japan's homicide rate is 0.2 per 100k
Why does Sweden have six times the homicide rate of Japan?
"During the 1990s, murder rates in the United States were at their highest, particularly in the early part of the decade. In 1990, over
23,000 murders occurred, making it one of the highest figures in the country's history. Throughout the 1990s, the murder rate gradually declined, and by the end of the decade, the number of murders had dropped to approximately
15,500 per year.
During the 2010s, murder levels were generally lower than in the 1990s, but there was a sharp increase in
2020, when the number of murders rose to around
21,500—the largest year-over-year increase since records began in 1960. This surge coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic and social unrest.
In summary, murder rates were highest in the early 1990s, declined steadily into the 2000s, and then increased again during the 2020s, particularly during the pandemic.
During the
1990s, the majority of the U.S. population was white, with approximately
75.7% identifying as white. The African American population made up
11.8%, while the Hispanic population was
9%. Asians accounted for
2.8%, and other racial groups represented less than 1% of the total population.
By the
2010s, the ethnic composition had changed significantly. The white population had decreased to
64.7%, while the Hispanic population had grown to
16%. The African American population remained steady at
12.2%, while Asians increased to
4.5%. Other racial groups, including multiracial individuals, also saw an increase."
