You being poorly educated on this subject does not change the fact that comparisons in homicide rates between first world nations are considered perfectly valid by those who aren't. They control for all of the typical major exasperating factors like major degrees of poverty, wealth inequality, and government corruption to name a few.

In sociology ? You mean a "Science" where studies can't be reliably replicated

Anyway going back to your idiocy. The violent crime rate in Montana a state with very little regulation of gun ownership 281/100k overall violence comparing that to London it's 2200/100k considering strict violence against the person

So are you an idiot or just not as well educated as you think you are ?

Oh just going back to the within the same society

Maryland has a violent crime rate of 457/100k
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

But has much stricter gun laws.

Geee It seems the predictive power of your proposition is near zero.

They're not asking for passwords anymore. As of an hour and 43 minutes ago, anyway. http://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/articles/2009/06/19/breaking_news/70cityletter.txt

* A man was outside a woman's home on Rose Street yelling and screaming around 1 a.m. She said he took off running.

* Police gave an intoxicated man a ride home after he knocked continuously on the door of a residence on West Harrison Street around 3 a.m. He was cold and wanted to come inside. The homeowner did not wish to press charges.

* A yellow lab was "dumpster diving" while tied up on the pool deck at the swim center on Church Avenue.

* An animal, believed to be a fox, was struck by a vehicle and needed to be killed. It turned out to be a skunk and was dead when an officer arrived.

* A man had questions about breaking up with an "abusive, crazy girlfriend."

* A man with a Russian accent called another man and accused him of flirting with his wife.

The Gallatin County Sheriff's Office reports for Wednesday included the following:

* Two 15-year-old males were trying to take beer at a store on Norris Road around 2:30 a.m. One of the boys had come into the store with this shirt over his head and the caller was concerned that they "were up to no good."

* A family was stuck behind a locked gate near a new golf course on Jack Creek Road in Madison County.

These aren't cherry-picked. It's always like that. Who wouldn't want to work there?

Sorry to tell you this but real scientists in the real world usually dont base a whole lot of their research on hollywood movies...

Supposedly not, but:

Report: Paleontologist "fudged" discovery to promote movie
Museum of the Rockies paleontologist Jack Horner "fudged" information about a dinosaur discovery four years ago to promote the third "Jurassic Park" film, National Public Radio reported Wednesday.

Horner disputes altering dinosaur discovery for movie opening
BOZEMAN -- Paleontologist Jack Horner, who served as a science consultant for the "Jurassic Park" films, acknowledged that the announcement of a dinosaur find in eastern Montana was delayed to help promote the third installment of the dinosaur-flick franchise four years ago.

And the NPR report (audio) that broke the story:
Movie Marketers Turn to Subtle, Sophisticated Tactics
Advertisers are finding new and creative ways to sell their films. [...] One studio has even manipulated a scientific discovery to coincide with the opening of a film. A look at some of the tactics studios use to seduce moviegoers to their films.

So much for the universal integrity of scientists in the real world...

this new research grant seems to follow pretty closely on the heels of new activity occuring at yellowstone national park, described here, here, and here (where you can also buy your own survey equipment.)

apparently, yellowstone park is right on top of a vent or something that has exploded catastrophically and according to some is overdue to do the same soon.

i'm willing to bet that the funding discussed in the article i linked to above:

Grants totaling $319 million from the National Science Foundation have been awarded to cover the first five years of the major new project, called EarthScope. Work has already begun on its array of instruments and facilities, which will provide the tools for decades of future detailed studies.

... has eveything to do with attempting to determine just how soon and how badly North America is going to be covered with ash and oochi-hot burning lava. Cool, or what?

This seems vaguely familiar...
