    I wonder if the murder rates are skewed by organized crime/gangs. That has a male skewed gender ratio and high murder rates.

      Gangs drive murder rates. Looking at areas in the US without gang activity, the murder rate is almost as low anywhere else in the world.

      Almost certainly.

      Unfortunately it’s very difficult to pull apart big data sets accurately. It’s difficult to pin down what murders are for sure gang related and which ones aren’t. Obviously there are some situations where it’s very clear, but some where it is not. Where you draw that line changes things significantly.

        The actual fuck? It’s significantly easier to pull apart large data sets, especially to answer demographic questions like this. This is literally Data Science 101, you’re just making shit up!

          They’re not interested in evidence or discussions

          It’s a hate-movement

        almost certainly

        This does not jive with the tenor of your first comment which tries to equate violence against women with violence against men.

          Did we read the same comment? He was pointing out statistics around males, not downplaying the statistics around women.

            Isn’t it interesting how whenever women come up someone has to rush to point out men as victims, as if to talk about women detracts from that?

            Curious.

          He’s just making stuff up anyway. It’s not difficult to pull apart those data sets. The information is readily available. It just doesn’t show the first thing that came out of his mouth is correct.
