“With respect to death rates (completed homicide) one has to take into account the improvements made over the years in the medical services. American researchers Harris et al. 2002 have calculated that at the end of the nineties the U.S. homicide rates would have been three times higher than actully registered had there been no progress in medical services and equipment since the sixties.” (Thome, pg. 1) Good observation – if we combine that with the incapacitating effect of mass incarceration, a rise from 200,000 in 1970 to over 2,000,000 today then we can get a clearer picture of the degree of homicidal aggression that exists in the world’s premiere individualized free-market society.
