Would you stop and think about the meaning of the word “rate” in this context? You need to understand the numbers you are posting.

The numbers you posted in #20 are wrong. Your source is wrong to use the word “rate” when posting raw (total) numbers, i.e., if they claim 12,996 murders in a year in the USA that is not the “rate” per 100,000 that is the total number of murders.

The very next line has them saying the “rate” is 42.01 per million people (4.2 per 100,000 people).

your source:

Murders per million people 42.01
Ranked 43th. 3 times more than Canada
