Crime Rate in America
Plenty of people including myself have wonder what is it that makes the crime rate in the U.S so much higher than in other countries. Well for starters “the U.S is has the highest gun ownership rate in the world.”The U.S has a statistic violent crime rate of 386.3 per year.
236 More than 31,000 people a year in the United States die from gunshot wounds .Because victims are disproportionately young, gun violence is one of the leading causes of premature mortality in the U.S.Gun violence in the United States is unusually high for a nation of such wealth.The United States has the highest rate of gun ownership in the world by far. And it has the highest rate of homicides among advanced countries. And yet, gun crime has been declining in the U.S. Firearm murders are down, as is overall gun violence even as gun ownership get lower.The homicide rate in the U.S. is seven times higher than the combined homicide rate of 22 other high-income countries. This is because the firearm homicide rate in the U.S. is twenty times greater than in these other high-income countries. The higher prevalence of gun ownership and much less restrictive gun laws are important reasons why violent crime in the U.S. is so much more lethal than in countries of similar income levels. United States also has a much higher rate of homicides by gun 3.2 homicides by firearm per 100,000 people, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime Homicide Statistics. The rash of mass shootings, sad occurrences that have become all too common in the United States, some of the biggest mass shooting are school conflicted shootings that are famous to the united states. For instance Columbine High School shooting with 15 people Killed Including both perpetrators and 21 injured. Also 20 first graders massacred at Sandy Hook Elementary School and 1 teacher. furthermore on April 16, 2007, on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia, United States.
