    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.
