But its not 230 murders per 100,000. It’s 289 murders total, for the entire population that year.
0.233 out of 100,000 were murdered.
That’s 0.000233% of 100,000 people.
The same table on the Wiki page says that the actual count was 289 murders in 2022. Japan had a population of over 126 million in 2020. If we used your formula, that would mean there were over 289,000 murders in Japan between 2021 and 2022. See below:
230 per 100,000 = 126,146,099 x 230 ÷ 100,000 = 290,136 murders total.
Whereas, 0.233 per 100,000 = 126,146,099 x 0.233 ÷ 100,000 = 294 murders total.
2+2=4, simple maths. But 290k murders per year would explain the population drop, lol.
Uh, try simple math?
(100,000 x .23)÷100 = 230
230 murders per 100,000 people.
