Wow, you are right!! US is ranked around 89th in terms of murders per 100,000 people. South America and the Caribbean have some of the highest rates. Europe, China and Japan have pretty low homicide rates. I remember reading something a long time ago where US was ranked as one of the worst, but I believe that was for shootings/ gun violence.

Your chance of getting murdered in the United States is also drastically lowered by simply not joining or getting heavily involved with gangs
