One would think that a comparison with the UK would be a smart one to make considering the media coverage stabbings in the UK receive, and the fact that homicides in the US tend to be conducted using firearms instead.
Turns out, shockingly to me at least, that the US also has a much higher deaths due to stabbing rate than the UK.
0.60/100k residents in the US vs 0.08/100k residents in the UK.
Well why don’t you find London and SF numbers then.
In the meanwhile, considering the U.S. has an order of magnitude higher rate of stabbing, it’s highly unlikely that London would have a higher, never mind a significantly higher, rate of stabbings than SF.
It's a people problem and we aren't allowed to and can't get rid of the people. People have poured in so much help and aid for years and it went nowhere.
Supporters of drug addiction and severe drug addicts for a start. Severe addicts need to be removed from society and treated medically in isolation to wean them off their addiction. The damage done to addicts by the common opioid and opioid mimicking drugs on the streets of SF is so severe there is nearly zero hope for them to consciously stop.
US governments need to scrap their existing operational model tackling drug users and adopt the Swiss National Strategy on Addiction and the four-pillar policy. There are no junkies in the streets unlike in the 1990s.

That’s almost an entire order of magnitude. And on top of that you add the many order of magnitudes greater homicides in the US thanks to firearms.
