I used wikipedia’s data that is sourced from UNODC and is apparently for 2021. For states the size of the UK it doesn’t really matter, fluctuations are small. Any given year the US will have ~6 times the homicide rate of the UK.
Eurostat (European Statistical Office; DG ESTAT) is a Directorate-General of the European Commission (…). Eurostat’s main responsibilities are to provide statistical information to the institutions of the European Union (EU) and to promote the harmonisation of statistical methods across its member states and candidates for accession as well as EFTA countries.
The reason the US looks bad is because the US is bad. You don’t need to aim very high… I mean, you don’t need to aim at all, or put any effort into it. Just let the US be the US and it already does all the looking bad for you.
The US does look bad. There is no make involved. The US homocide / gun deaths numbers are en par to some failed states or those with civil or actual war.
What’s the reason for excluding so many european countries in this graphic?
As with all EU policy, the purpose is to make the USA look bad. This is the only reason Russia is not even in the EFTA or the EU.
I have insider information that powers are play are trying to engineer a way to kick out Latvia to make the statistics more embarrassing to you.
PS: UK 1.48, Switserland Not a country, Russia 6.8, Belarus 2.32, Ukraine 3.84 pre-war, Moldavia 2.27 USA 6.38
I don’t think adding Russia will make the difference you think it will, since it’s barely more violent than the US.
The UK would be 1.00 on this chart - source

Whenever you see a map with data about most European countries but not the UK, it’s probably Eurostat. After Brexit they stopped sharing their data.
Pretty sure the UK is no longer part of Europe. The greyed out countries aren’t part of Europe, so why would they be included?
The UK is part of Europe, it just isn’t part of the EU.
I mean, they would certainly like to be again.
The UK not being included makes me think that these are only EU member countries? I don’t know for sure though.
Switzerland is included though. I’m thinking it’s just data availability.
It literally says Eurostat in the bottom right
It looks like their source was the Eurostat Data Browser. Maybe these are just the countries it has data for?
Two countries are being left out. Is two a high number to you?
UK, Switserland, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldavia.
Cyprus is included for some reason.
Which two of the above were you referring to?
and Bosnia and Herzegovina
The UK left the EU, and since when the hell was Russia part of it!?
Title says Europe, not EU.
The numbers for Russia and Ukraine would be quite bad at the moment, me thinks.
Isn’t the aim of the game to make US look bad?

Your argument would be illustrated if this post included europe, as the title claimed it would.
Amazing, huh, how comparing the US to other modern civilised countries makes the US look bad?
I wonder what that means…
Maybe Europe is just too good. It’s suspicious. What are they hiding under all that not being murdered.
Ok, so the US is only much worse than the majority of EU countries.
That better?
seems to be some non-eu countries…
Yet switserland is colored in
hence SOME
No data available is what I assumed.
