    France is at around 1.3, Germany at around 0.9, UK somewhere in between, if a quick search is to be trusted.

    And I think change in incidence is a weird way to express this. Yes, the average person is not likely to die of homicide, even in “unsafe” countries. But at the same time, the chance of a man to get testicular cancer is around 0.01%; if I would be 5 times as likely to get testicular cancer than the people from other places, I would very much want to look into that.

      Okay, but that’s it. Full stop. Minor variations don’t say much about these countries.

      Then the risk is still microscopic, especially with the variance by neighborhood and income and circumstance.
