The US is probably safer than where you live

Overall population density is one of the most abused statistics when comparing countries, as far as I am concerned.

Oh, well as far as you are concerned that's an entirely different matter...

If you compare the US to Australia using population density to arable land, or urban density, you will find things far more comparable.

There's a reason the middle of America is called 'fly over country' and it isn't because of the aerial view.

EDIT: My bad, I was comparing square miles density of USA to square kilometers of Australia. I made that correction, and I'm comparing the density of the Victoria territory to the USA. Victoria seems to have the most people for its size.

Victoria has a density of 23.54 ppl/sq.km.
1 sq.mile = 2.59 sq.km
23.54 * (2.59/1) = 60.97 ppl/sq.mile

At 60.97 ppl/sq.mile the Victoria territory lies right between Arizona (#33, 60.1) and Mississippi (#32, 63.8)

So yeah... no real comparison to Australia urban areas and USA.

Looks like the Mafia keeps Italy pretty darned safe.
Maybe that protection money is worth it. They actually seem to 'protect.'

population obviously skews this as it is a (relatively) uncommon event
