Liechenstein must be a very very dangerous place with their lax crime enforcement. Only 19 lock-ups per 100,000.

I say we set up work camps and make the prisoners pay for their prison stay via hard labor.

That's how it used to work. A variety of things put a stop to that. Yes it'd be great if prisoners were used in manual labour jobs, like building highways and railways instead of paying for over priced union labourers. But of course that'll never happen for a myriad of reasons.

Yes, let's get rid of more regular paying jobs in America. Rolling Eyes This exactly what will raise crime rates in the states.

The US must be the safest country in the world because of their high incarceration rate right? Because being tuff on crime really lowers crime rates, right? As we can see from the data, right?

In other not at all linked news, Liechtenstein has one of the lowest disparities between rich and poor in the industrialized world and the US has one of the highest.

Yes, because comparing the US and Liechtenstein is perfectly legit. The US is the 4th largest country in the world by land mass, and one of the largest by population. Liechtenstein is smaller than Rhode Island (roughly 5% of the size and 3.5% of the population). But yeah, it definitely a fair comparison. Also consider that there are no large urban centres in Liechtenstein (Vaduz, the largest municipality, is around 5000 people) statistically you tend to find more crime occurs in the large urban areas of the US. Please stop comparing apples to oranges, sure their both fruit and a good sources of vitamin C, but the comparison starts to wear a bit thin beyond that.

Yes, the statics were per-capita buddy so it shouldn't matter that US is larger.

Should be easier for those of us already in Korea to find jobs back in the States then right?

With this logic then China or India should have 4 times or more the crime as in the US. They have many many more urban areas. Hey, even South Korea has a more urban population than in the states. I guess the crimes rates are really horrible here too compared to the states.

Well, population density has very little to do with it. The US has more people in jail that China and India, the two most populated countries in the world last time I checked (in fact, the US has a larger prison population than that of all countries in the world combined).

Some would blame the prison industrial complex.
