dude those numbers are realy realy terrible... i life the biggest state of germany, 17-18million inhabitants and something around 100 Murder

thats way less than  half the murders of detroid, a town with 600.000 inhabitants...

Well first off... that's murder rate.  Not actual murder numbers.  

Secondly, murder rates for major cities are going to be higher then murder rates for states.   The Equivlent to your German State is actually included on that graph.  It would be that Red line listed Michigan.   Which is the State that Detroit is in.

Additionally, Bavaria is one of the safer German States.  So even if you wanted to make a comparison i'd think you'd pick a different state.

Thirdly, the numbers are terrible... but consistantly terrible.

In otherwords, there hasn't been a "Total breakdown" in Detroit due to the tanking economy.

its murder per 100000 inhabitants per year, so its something around 300 murder per year just in detroit.
