1:100 seems insane. I live in a community of 10,000 people, and we don’t have anything close to 100 people working in the RCMP. MAYBE 20-30, including support

Just checked our major urban centre in Canada, and it’s around 1:450. As a comparison, that makes New Orleans (1:385) pretty well staffed.

Would be cool to find data covering major urban centres across the world for comparisons.

New York City has a ratio of 1:166

I know more than 100 people and zero criminals. Somehow this math doesn’t math to me.

It’s statistically extremely unlikely that non of those 100 people are criminals. One of them is probably a secret cannibal, or on heroin, or whatever.

Well now I’m wondering if it’s me
