Or crime. Especially violent crime.
For reference, according to the UN Global study on homicide 2019, here's South Africa and a few other countries' knife homicide rates:
UK, Monaco (joint lowest): 0.08 per 100k
France: 0.2 per 100k
Germany: 0.23 per 100k
New Zealand: 0.4 per 100k
United States: 0.6 per 100k
South Africa (hold onto your fucking hats for this one, the highest in the world): 16.95 per 100k
You are 212x more likely to die from stabbing in South Africa than the UK or Monaco. It's crazy.
Why would I stab someone when I could simply shotgun them in half?
Or ...
Here's a list of Intentional Homicide rates by country.
South Africa is still insanely high (#4 under 3 countries that have at least one order of magnitude less population).
I mentioned knife crime because my manager, an immigrant from South Africa, said knife crime in particular is rampant, and it's something she was fearful of. But yes it's not limited to knife crime only.
