You're viewing a single thread.
Having the #1 high school for opiate overdoses in the nation would somewhat argue against the structural integrity of your hypothesis.
Also reducing public safety down to reported murder rates is some really airtight logic
I doubt the person you're replying to believes that the murder rate is the one and only true indicator of "safety"
I also would have assumed that, had they not said "historically Maine safe" then linked homicide statistics for three random years like some kind of chatbot scripted 10 years ago by some 14 year old kid whose mom works for the Greater Maine Chamber of Commerce, yet here we are
Yeah, I apologize. I am out of touch when it comes to overdoses and probably domestic violence, but as someone who has lived all over the state, there aren't a lot of "unsafe" places.
I linked 3 years from that website, but there are details for every year on that site and having 18 dead in one day will definitely skew the numbers more than most locales.
I am a simpleton.
Life expectancy across the country is falling like a rock, very few of the root causes aren't incredibly bleak and/or unfixable issues but everyone thinks they understand how violent crime works.
I just tell myself being wrong is just the first step of learning, the only wrong move is giving up
It's probably just the god of statistics and averages biting Maine's ass.
