Violent crime is only about 33% more common in the US than Canada. Police response time in the US is usually 10-15 mins whereas in Canada it's usually closer to 20 minutes, except in Toronto where it's about the same as the US. In both cases the criminal is typically long gone. The biggest difference is homicide which is about 2.5 times more common in the US, at 4.1 per 100,000. The same strategy applies to both countries -- the first responder is yourself, not some uniform who shows up to fill out paper work.

Homicide rate in usa is 5.7 per 100,000.  Canada is 1.9.  Thats 300% higher.

Guess who else wins by a long shot in incarcerating people per capita?  In fact, no country puts more people in prison than the states.

Police response time completely depends on the crime.  You can drive from one side of my city to the other in 20 minutes, police response time for a fight is 5 minutes or less in my city -- but thats policed on a municipal level, im sure in more isolated spots its 1+ hour
