Is it too late already ? Or just more fear mongering and manipulating stats ?
Is it also unfair to compare a country with a population of over 300 million( USA ) with a the country of around just 20 million ( Australia ) or its perfectly relevant. For example the prison population of 133 per 100,000 of Australia vs the 743 for the US. Which in my view is overwelhming even on the per 100,000 scale.
