Here in Canada, we experience about 5 deaths per million.

Here is some data about this two countries, and what can be noticed. I guess, that Canada is much more safe and wereare not many murders comparing to Russia, where we have huge amount of murders per year. If you compare Russia to USA, you will see, that Russia will have almost 4 times more murders then USA does. And who was thinking, that USA is a "gang" country?There are also many different aspects of violence, not just murders, but teen violence, family violence, violence against women... and so on. This are just some materials on my topic, which, as I realized is very wide and I hope I can handle it.
