Does the USA have the most deaths by violence?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
By percentage every year? Do we cause the most deaths by violence in the world also? Accurate figures please and sources. Or where can I find the figures? Thanks

South American countries are the highest so you are kinda right, the U.S however is 92 in a list of 192

I would say we do. We've had the most serial killers in the last five decades. America has dealt with

Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995

Columbine High School Massacre in 1999

Red Lake High School Tragedy in 2005

Virginia Tech Shooting in 2007

Sandy Hook shooting in 2012

Aurora Movie Theater Massacre in 2012

Out of the 'Civilized West' yes, they're the most violent, in the World, South America, Africa and Asia have a much higher violent-death rates, because poverty, and corruption promote violence(interesting factoid, the US also have the most Poverty, and Corruption out of the Civilized Western Countries).

No, many of the African countries surpass the USA a thousand times over in violent deaths.

Google "FBI statistics" and you can do similar searches for other countries but this comparison is too large of scale. Try to compare two cities with similar populations.

does not appears so in many countries deaths are not reported or recorded.
