US States By Violent Crime Rate
LovingKnuckle 2 years ago
In regards to Alaska. A lot has to do with isolation: More isolated communities are harder to get police assistance and there are more crimes due to it. Drugs (a big factor), property theft, suicide, assault and murder happen very frequently. In the larger cities there is a lot of gang violence. There are also a lot of systemic socioeconomic disparities especially in indigenous communities.

Highest Temperature Recorded In Europe Countries
pep Ito 2 years ago
These maps are misleading. They should have shown the point where it was reached and the temperature by zones. As it appears on the map it seems that all of Spain reached 47 degrees when it was in the south of Spain and probably in the northern half the temperatures were. By far lower

The Most Common Surname In Each Department Of Mainland France
Annik Perrot 2 years ago
Fabre, Favre, Lefevre, Lefebvre and Faivre are all descended from the same root, the latin word "faber", which meant " craftsman" ... or ...Smith -))) Moreau means " little More" and was used for dark-haired people suspected ( rightly or wrongly) to be of Arab origins ( they did invade in the 9th century). Mostly, for long, common people didn't have a last name, and to tell apart people with the same first name, one used their occupation, physical particularities, or location (Dupuy means " from the hill", same as Delpech). I'm just à bir puzzled with " Wintersheim" , in , I think, Indre. ???

poor choice of color scheme...especially because "1.0" has different colors e.g. in Spain and Czech Republic. Would be easier to interpret if 1.0 was the center of a diverging color scheme
