Comment on The one drawback to walking at night

finland has a homocide rate of about 1 per 100k.

Hong Kong : 0.29
Glendale CA : 0.52
Tampere, Finland : 2.2
Arlington TX: 4.8
Los Angeles CA : 10.3 Albequerqe NM : 21.3
Washington DC : 31.85
Flint MI : 70.7 Tijuana MX : 95.9

Maybe I’m too tired or dumb to understand this… But 1 per 100k what? Is this successes per 100k attempts? Is it murderers per 100k people? 1 homicide per 100k human interactions? Maybe a citation would help me to understand the statistic you are referring to. It’s not that I don’t believe the sentiment of this comment but I really don’t know what the figures mean here so I can’t meaningfully gauge what each number means for the safety of a city.

    For what amount of time? The statistic just doesn’t make sense when framed this way.
