Everybody's killing each other online now.
Hi Michael,
I used the data you posted here and compared it with the rate of executions under the death penalty. You can see the result in graphical form at http://goo.gl/e9PZY.

Thanks. I had some commentary there, but left it off. It seems pointless...

"Sadly, crime is a huge problem in Taiwan. Taiwan is far less safe than Western countries for its citizens. "
I am Taiwanese, I don't see the "huge problem" you mentioned.
Care to elaborate?
btw, Taiwan homicide rate per 100,000 person is 2.9, compare to US 5.3.
