    TIL Canada sends all its murderers to a tiny island off Newfoundland.

      I’m kind of surprised that there’s data for St Pierre and Miquelon, actually. It’s part of France, but France’s homicide is way lower than this map shows for the island, so it presumably must mean just the island

      Well, depending on what the source is, since it doesn’t tell us at all

        I had never heard of those places, and I googled St Pierre murder and got nothing.

        Maps had it in the border of Newfoundland, but the font did make it look like a separate territory.

        Edit: Detective work mostly completed.

          Actual Source Data (UNODC)

          One murder reported in 2008 and one in 2009. None before it after going up to 2018 which is the end of the data. That’s a rare of just under 16 per 100k. I was unable to find any reports of the 2 murders.

          I did find a new article about a murder-suicide in 2015 that did not make this data.

          Apparently, this was also where the only American execution by guillotine took place!
