These figures are not even in the realms of being correct. Take the site down and go back to school.... |

Not sure about other European countries, but in Germany commas and periods in figures are reversed. E.g. "2,5" would be "2.5" [decimal point] in the US. If you take a statistical report written in German and don't know this, then 250 plus some fractions reads as 250-thousand. My guess is, that other countries that high on the list use a similar notation. The author needs to go back to the source and get this straightened out. |

It's easy to get 250,969 per 100,000 people if there are repeat offenders, which I feel is quite likely in the drugs world as people like using them. |

All the numbers cited above that of the US are wrong. The webmasters used absolute counts rather than rate per 100,000 (e.g., Germany had an actual 2002 drug offence rate of 304 per 100,000 people; Canada, 295/100K; etc.). The original dataset can be found here (pp. 44-47): http://www.unodc.org/pdf/crime/eighthsurvey/5678svr.pdf |

250.000 per 82.000.000 poorly loaded the data, please be more vigilant, people work with this data |
|
GJR 28th February 2010 |
remember when looking at these statistics that one person can be charged with multiple offenses. That's why the figure that is given (per 100,000 people) can be more than '100,000'. |
|
ME 6th February 2010 |
Impossible... Germany 2.5 offences per every man woman and child... and the US, a notoriously drug-infested country, 560.1 per 100000 people? No way. |
|
Dirk 3rd February 2010 |
These stats need an urgent review. I can't find anything to corroberate the figures I see in the top 5 |
|
Kyle L 8th January 2010 |
Or there is more then one person with only one drug charge. Duh |
|
Don B Sillier 22nd September 2009 |
Germans love drugs. |
|
Don B. Silly 13th May 2009 |
So, in Germany they have 250,969 drug offences per 100,000 people? That's over 2.5 offences for every man, woman and child in Germany? Do these stats mean anything? Or are the commas in the wrong places? |
