The figure for 2006 for homicide in Canada is 1.85/100,000, not 5.45 as reported by McGrath of Harlow. It's possible that McGrath's stat is of violent crime, not homicide. The 1.85 figure puts us just below UK at 1.97 and above Austria at 1.8. I believe that 2007 is a tad lower but I don't have the numbers.
