I found it really surprising when i heard how low the number of solved murder cases in the US is. Apparently it's something around 20%. Over here, it's in the 70-80% ballpark.

And even then, the % is not such a good metric to look at. Japan has a nearly 100% conviction rate for murder , but it's because they'll just accuse whoever and once you've been charged you're as good as convicted.

reminds me of this case where a Japanese hacker hijacked people's computers to make death threats and the police coerced confessions out of four of them
