Anyway, crime is heavily cultural. East African cab drivers on the East Coast used to tell me about how American blacks were stupid and violent. Mexico's crime levels are apocalyptic and appallingly savage, but Mexican cities just north of the border (eg El Paso) are among the safest in the USA.
Uruguay has a capital city drugs and crime problem, and a lethargic legal system, but after the centre right won the election in 2020 (on a "security" platform, among many other reforms) the Police have been encouraged to seek out criminals, and the Courts have been encouraged to give jail sentences. African percentage is low, I think 8% maximum, and the man problem is urban gangs fighting each other, and "settling accounts" with gunfire.
Am I blind or did Sweden somehow fall off the graphs? Election time here, interested to see how political spin both left and right correlates to reality.

Shocked to see that Kentucky has so few blacks.

Border area crime is due mainly to drug war I think.
