@kurtseifried @cstross I live in Scotland and I wasn't even aware of this. Anecodotally I have experienced murder as being rare, so it runs true. I read the background and it says the murders were solved. To quote:
"The distinction between “solved” and “unsolved” homicide cases is where an accused individual is attached to it (solved) and where an accused individual has not been identified (unsolved)."
From what I can see, they know who did it, not that they are necessarily behind bars.

@kurtseifried @cstross homicide rates aren't so different between the two countries, Canada is twice Scotland from what I can see.
I can't see any particular mention of homicides in the Scottish policing policy. Doesn't mean the other commentor isn't right though.
I suspect I could go into reasons why they might be different (smaller country, less guns, less transient population etc) but I have reached the limit of my ignorance. I will be interested to see other views.

@miffyhelen good to see someone else doing the same. I still get mobile Firefox issues with some essential payment websites I use but all in all quite happy.
