You do realize we have 60 times the population Norway has. So 10:1 ain't bad by comparison. :)

He is talking ratio of population to prisoners. The US is very high compared to others, thanks to drug "war".

So 9 out of 10 perpetrators worthy of going to prison evade justice where they would have been imprisoned in the US ? Interesting theory. The truth might be somewhere in between 0 and 9 but I doubt if it makes up much of the difference.

The question may well be better asked in this manner: which country has the more skilled, intelligent and sneakiest perps. You know, the ones that have yet to be caught or have good lawyers to keep them out of jail.
