You can cherry pick all you want... but in reality there is no statistical evidence that correlates with religion when it comes to crimes. Comparing different countries is a bit silly considering the many MANY different factors. Such factors include population density (real not average), Gini Coefficent, diversity, freedom of speach, effectiveness of police force and belief in justice... etc. My point simply was that those countries you stated do not infact have ridiculiously low crime rates. They're crime rates are fairly high. |
I'd actually argue that the confounding factors in the data you showed were so large that you can't actually claim that the crime rates in those countries are relatively high. If you can find a study that takes into account the confounding factors that I quoted in my last post I'll agree that I was wrong.
