(17,502 posts)but as Dr. Peterson points out, the GINI coefficient also breaks down to the county and local level. South Dakota is not the same as California or Illinois. Oakland is not the same as Vacaville etc.
Our murder rates are not evenly spread. They are almost always gang hits within pockets of large cities. Neither Isreal and Saudi Arabia has those problems. Saudi Arabia is also a theocratic police state where crimes against racial and religious minorities are taken less seriously if at all. Where did you get your data for Saudi Arabia?

Since our GINI coefficient is closer to Mexico's, and on some levels historically and culturally closer to Mexico than anywhere in Western Europe. while Norway and UK are not "third world" they have less in common with us culturally.
