This is a false equivalency as they do not have the resources that we have

So that would make it even worse? I'd actually just argue their numbers are probably less correct.

Murder rate is probably the best proxy in some regards for overall criminality, at least it’s a very high end, because it’s by far the hardest crime to cover up. As such in the global south murder rate is used as the de facto violent crime rate as other crimes are poorly reported and poorly counted.

If Japan can skew their murder rate I'm sure plenty of stuff isn't reported in south America, lol.
