Something has to be wrong with my information or calculations.
I’ve been doing some investigation, and, in 2004, the national murder rate in the U.S. was 5.5 per 100,000 people.
According to the CIA, the US population is 295,734,134.
This means that in 2004, approximately 16,000 people were murdered. Is this right? What am I doing wrong? This can’t be right. That’s sixteen thousand people murdered last year.
I can’t believe that this is correct…
