Transitions

While America remains a more violent country than Canada, and nothing can change that, there are some valid reasons remaining as to why America has such a vastly higher crime rate. One of those reasons would be the population. The United States population absolutely dwarfs that of Canada. The United States population stands at the moment at 301,139,947 and it is growing everyday. If you compare that with the Canadian population which stands at 33,390,141 and you can see why the crime rates differ so much. With that vast of population difference, it stands to reason that crime in the larger country would be much higher.
