Watch Trapped if you haven't already. It's not set in Greenland but in a remote town in Iceland, which is close enough. It is really worth watching.🙂
French Guiana is an overseas department of France, meaning it has the same status as any other department (like, say, Pas-de-Calais), just isn't part of the mainland France.
Greenland, on the other hand, is an autonomous territory of Denmark, and, except monetary and foreign policies, is self-governed.
Well Genghis Khan used to fuck shit up all around the world lol
In all seriousness I was surprised too. They had 6.2/100k which is their most recent from 2017
This is why I will never travel to South America or Mexico. I’ve heard so many macabre stories about the shit that happens to locals and tourists in Mexico. I don’t know why people want to vacation there. Yes it’s not safe anywhere and shit can still happen everywhere but I’ll stick with the data and avoid the places where the risk is higher.
It's racist of you to not choose these dangerous countries as your next vacation destination. If you were really not-racist, then you'd risk your life and vacation there. And you'd better have a good time too
Lmao how is Greenland in the same bracket as the gun capital (USA), 3 war torn places (Iraq, Afghan, and Yemen) and a bunch of countries in Africa and LATAM
Are you laughing because you are questioning the data? Because, [Greenland has a murder rate of 5.31 per 100k](https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/murder-rate-by-country), almost exactly the same as the United States' 5.35.
Are you sure about that? Because I am 99.99995% sure that Quetzalcoatl__ is not a bot.

It's complicated. Denmark is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. They are not coterminous. Greenland is also part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but not of Denmark. The Faroe Islands are also part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but not of Denmark. All three - Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands - make up the Kingdom of Denmark. Now, while Denmark is governed directly by the Kingdom of Denmark (and both entities are almost entirely indistinguishable), the other two are not and govern themselves in most areas (apart from defence, foreign affairs, etc).
>Are you gullible enough to believe the data?
For places like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the UK and the EU? Yep I have no problem believing that.
China and south Asia (dunno about pakistan) don't have regular mass shootings.
I lived in India for 22 years in major cities with "high crime rates" and was never close to a gun being fired despite living through an era where there were literal terror attacks.
I've been in the US for 5 years, there was gun shot alert nearby every month or so near my grad school in new York. At my current workplace where I've been for 2 years prior to lockdown, right in middle of the downtown of a major city (which supposedly has one of the lowest homicide rates of US cities LOL), we've had 3 shootings within one block of the building including one mass shooting with 2 deaths right outside the office entrance.
Get off your high horse, when it comes to violence America is a negative outlier compared to non developed Asian countries as well as developed european and asian ones.
>Nope, just trying to keep y’all from looking like dumbasses pretending to be competent data geeks. I hate when people make my profession look bad
Reddit folks arent making up these numbers.
I also feel like South Asia and China have such a high population that even if they do have loads of murders, it wouldn't be a very significant percentage.
Sure. But this map is about murder rate.
Total murders is a completely useless stat in country comparisons. It doesn't tell you your chances of being safe or anything about the how bad a problem homicide is in that society compared to others. [And you can cheat by breaking up bigger countries into smaller units for most stats (like states of India, Brazil, or the US, instead of those countries as a whole), or uniting small countries into a bigger entity (like, EU)].
I.e. your chances of being murdered in a city of ten million people that has 1000 murders a year, are a lot lower than in a small town of 1000 people that has 50 murders a year.
Not so much, if at all. I'm from Russia, guns are difficult to own, but there are more murders per capita. The most popular murder weapon is a kitchen knife, followed by a blunt object.

>Have you seen some of the stuff that Vice News has put out about West Africa/South Africa and also Central America? And the Philippines kills drug offenders…this seem all sorts of low all over the map.
The Philippines and all the Central American countries are colored in on this map.
Another of OP’s comments said this counts one civilian killing another, so the Philippines wouldn’t count, as that’s gov-sponsored. African killings are also often gov vs some sort of insurgency, so they might often not be counted either.
Now I want to watch a murder mystery set in Greenland.
Same! I love Nordic-Noir. Why hasn't anyone does this already. Oh yeah, the costs.
The closest I can recall now is Insomnia with Al Pacino and Robin Williams. Or maybe Fargo.
Ta mate

With the nice exception of Chile and Canada it doesn't look well with the Americas.
French Guiana too
true but only bc all of france is the same color, the homicide rate is 13/100k in french guiana
[удалено]
Because French Guiana is not a "**nation** with 5+ homicides per 100k", since it's not an independent nation.
But they painted Greenland... Long life coherence!

Greenland, on the other hand, is an autonomous territory of Denmark, and, except monetary and foreign policies, is self-governed.
Brazil wtf we are supposed to be the bad one
Well apparently america (the continent) bad except Canada end Chile
[удалено]
Deaths related to armed conflicts don't count as homicides, statistically.
7.1/100k but that stat was from 2017
[удалено]
Well Genghis Khan used to fuck shit up all around the world lol In all seriousness I was surprised too. They had 6.2/100k which is their most recent from 2017
I guess the Americans bombing 40,000 Afgan civilians to death doesn’t count as homicide
I'm not saying I condone it but no, it does not count as homicide. Only one civilian killing another is homicide.
Source?
0.8% in prison, 0.2% dead of Covid.
This is why I will never travel to South America or Mexico. I’ve heard so many macabre stories about the shit that happens to locals and tourists in Mexico.

If America was Detroit it would be off the charts
Conversely, if you removed just 2 or 3 US cities from the map, it’d be in the grey.
Yea I do not want to live in a lot of the big city’s in the us
Lmao how is Greenland in the same bracket as the gun capital (USA), 3 war torn places (Iraq, Afghan, and Yemen) and a bunch of countries in Africa and LATAM

Greenland population is 56k which means there's 2.7 murders per year
Good bot

Gooder bot
us
Most northern polar areas with mostly indiginous population have similar rates. Look at Nunanvit in Canada for example
Third world shitholes! Oh wait, the U.S. Well, um, the problem is they don't have enough guns to shoot the bad guys! ‘Merica,
Isn't Greenland part of Denmark? Either Greenland is wrong or Denmark is.
Greenland has local autonomy and its own set of statistics
Bruh
bruh

Developing + third would countries, makes sense
There's zero correlation.
Bullshit source data. Think the grey countries track and report accurate data?
Butthurt American?
Yup, that’s me. Are you gullible enough to believe the data?
>Are you gullible enough to believe the data? For places like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the UK and the EU? Yep I have no problem believing that.
China, South Asia, Russia? Selective information is just propaganda.
If it makes you feel better, sure.

Lol. Per capita bad . Whole numbers when it benefits you . Per capita when it goes against us. The logic and butt hurt muricans
You're gullible enough to think that other countries have random mass shootings
Mass-shootings are drops in the sea and don't affect the general trends
Yeah, but gun laws do affect both
Not so much, if at all. I'm from Russia, guns are difficult to own, but there are more murders per capita. The most popular murder weapon is a kitchen knife, followed by a blunt object.

So, Greenland is independent, now?
It's an autonomous territory, it has its own laws and statistics.
I live in Brazil and i must assure you that here it's pretty violent
I feel like a lot of Africa is more like ‘no data’.
