* WritersCannotDoMath: The crime rate Dredd mentions isn\\\'t actually that bad when you consider it is in proportion to a population of 800 million. If we equate \\\"serious crimes\\\" as Dredd calls them to what is classified \\\"violent crime\\\" in modern U.S. law, there is less crime per capita in Mega-City One than New York City had in the 1980s by a clear margin.

Someone in the movie thread mentioned this entry seemed a bit odd and also pointed out a cracked article that possibly inspired the statement.

In the film during a lecture to Rookie Anderson at the start of the film. Dredd rattles off statistics about Crime and Law Enforcement in Mega City 1.

\\\" 12 \\\'\\\'\\\'serious crimes\\\'\\\'\\\' reported every minute, 17,000 everyday. We can respond to around 6%\\\"

Earlier Dredd mentions that rookies have 1 in 5 chance of dying on their first day. Those are stats you see more commonly a battlefield not a urban center.

There is no available definition of what constitutes a serious crime in the Dredd film vs the modern U.S. The media franchise the movie comes from has a vastly different set of legal codes and laws to the U.S. Some examples of crimes include ownership of sugar or coffee as illegal. Possessing unlicensed Goldfish or other small pets is illegal. There are a myriad of examples from the various media and include crimes that simply do not exist in the U.S.

Also in the US Serous Crime typically refers to Felonies in general not violent crime alone.

Even if you interpret Serious Crime to mean violent crime Mega city one is still worse off.

386.00 per 100,000 U.S. 2011 Per Capita.

788.4 per 100,000 Mega City 1 Per Capita

To top it off the Judges have a very limited capacity only able to respond to roughly 6% of that crime. U.S. now has much better response and police coverage.

It looks more like Tropers can\\\'t do math or draw a clear distinction in a lack of information needed to make a comparison for that entry in the first place.
