Perhaps you are missing the point that the population of the U.S. is about 312 Million compared with less than 63 Million in the UK. Thus, with large cities in the ratio 180:50, the U.K. has more large cities (almost twice as many) per Million population. The U.K. also has a land area of about 1/40th that of the U.S. We are FAR more urbanised than you are. and have a population density which is about 8 times yours. I think your argument and conclusion are back-to-front! Also, the site you quote shows:- Drug offences UK 183,419 per 100,000 people US 560.1 per 100,000 people There's a very simple explanation for this - that UK figure is the *TOTAL* number of drug offences over the entire population of 62 Million! The comparable number is therefore really about 291/100,000 Even I know that we don't have two drug offences per year for every man, woman, child and newborn baby in the UK! Also, I don't know about the U.S., but even those UK figures are *NOT* sentencing figures. Last year, we had 42,000 sentences for drug posession, but over 160,000 recorded "warnings" for cannabis posession. Again, it depends on your definition of "offence", and exactly what you are counting. Do you never think to check, or use a little intelligence with figures?
