Trust is an extremely powerful mechanism of informal social control. In smaller, more ethnically homogeneous countries like Norway, building that trust is easy. People feel a sense of togetherness for many reasons, including the fact that most people look similar and hold similar beliefs," he said.

Well, the sociologist they quoted in the article pretty much sums it up. Don't really need to read past that sentence.

Homogeneous societies are the shite... Am I right..?


Well, I could name a few homogenous societies in a not to be named continent where it hasn't lead to less violence. Again, for a variety of reasons.

Except that those societies in that not named continent are anything but homogeneous. Homogeneous isn't just the same skin color.

No, I don’t think so. Matter of fact, I’m pretty sure his prison experience is pretty close to a Marriott Vacation Club experience.

I wonder if this has anything to do with that statistic.

sounds like a perfect case study. instead of donating hundreds of millions to BLM why don't we pay these guys to police Chicago for a year and see what happens.

That will probably settle the debate

The population of their entire country is smaller than quite a few US cities. And they have a low poverty rate.

Population of 5.3mil. Single parent households: 284,555 (so hard to get an exact percentage, but it’s not that many).

When you dont have a significant population of brown people, you have less crime. But then again, stats are racist

2014, officers drew their guns 42 times, but they fired just two shots while on duty. No one was hurt in either of those instances.

Sounds like they're a terrible shot

American police have killed a little more than 10k in that same time line and we have unsecured borders, high incarceration rates and a population of over 330mil.

We're not doing that bad.
