Mike from the US wrote in to the Beetle to say that our
e-newsletter is always welcome and interesting, but that our
recent “Country Statistics – Crime: Assaults Top 10
Countries per capita” was a little misleading. It
puts the US on top with over 2 million crimes per capita. He
says that although we are a relatively dangerous destination,
we aren't quite that bad. He took a look at the source
website which shows that the table gives the per country
totals and would therefore be biased against populous
countries. Mike goes on to say that the per capita ranking is
more informative, so here is Mike’s link to this.

Quite right, Mike, apologies, we don’t want to
deliberately put the US in a misleading light, so here is a
better representation.

Thanks Mike – from the Beetle. We love hearing
from our readers, about any comments, complementary or a slap
on the wrist, please let us know!
