Murders rates tell us how well a country are and how well overall are run?

I believe so to some degree.

Japan are really the place to go to it seems,
a large population and still manage to keep it well in place.

But I heard in news that older men/women in their 60s+ in Japan are the ones that rob and
steal, and are of the majority put into jail.

They have no money to live by left since the financial crises
put them out 1980s.

One woman in her 80s stabbed and robbed ?

CraZy but I guess that is rare. (judging by stats)


Anything to add on to this stats, and have anyone been to any of these
countries I named above, and what have been your experience????

Also notice that Saudi Arabia and Quatar, have super low
murders rates. I guess that's what we get when we have harsh
punishments for crime?
