Bodvar,
Got the table for murders per capita?
I seriously doubt there are any developed countries ahead of the US.

Columbia, Venezuela, Russia, Estonia, South Africa, and Poland are considered developed countries, as are most of the others on that list.
Look I'm not saying America doesn't have a homicide problem, just that it isn't the worst in the world like you said.
Considering the amount of guns that are available in the United States, it isn't as bad as one would think. Another thing you must consider is that African Americans are about 12% of the population but commit over 50% of the homicides
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/race.htm If it wasn't for that unfortunate fact, the American murder rate would be cut in half. Same thing with the crime rate in general, factor out black people and the crime rate and incarceration rates fall by 50%. Not racist just fact.
