It's super interesting how it closely correlates with conflict.

that's not true, the homicide rate was 4.6 per 100k in 1950, and it was 6.8 per 100k in 2021 so about 48% higher. other crimes like rayp and robbery are also up @@-Subtle-

I suspect that there may be some difficulty getting accurate crime stats from the 70's and 80's in SA, as the apartheid government did as good a job as possible keeping the crime contained within the black areas. It's possible alot of the crime in the black areas was either not fully calculated, or the aparthheid government kept the true crime stats from being published, so as not to incur even more international backlash. Truth is South Africas crime was really bad ( and it was bad since the 1970's), Apartheid did keep the crime from spilling over into white areas for the most part, but post aparthheid the crime just spread everywhere and so basically nowhere is "safe" anymore in SA.

The UK is one of the safest countries in the world, it's murder rate is currently 1 per 100,000 people. It has less than 16% of the US murder rate, half that of Canada and less than France or Sweden. Even in the troubles the UK was an incredibly safe place. In Northern Ireland 3,568 people died in the 41 years of the troubles, (1117 of those were members of the British security forces) that is 87 people per year. If we take the average population of Northern Ireland to be approximately 1.6 million that would give around 5.4 murders per 100,000, that's 1 less than the 6.4 current murder rate of the USA, nowhere near enough to get on this list. If you take the whole of the UK population the murder from 1969 to 2010 averaged around 1.4 per 100,000 peaking in 2002 at 1.87, it has been falling steadily since the early 2000's.
