    UN agency: 40 youths murdered daily in Europe

    (AP) – 5 days ago

    COPENHAGEN, Denmark — The World Health Organization says 40 young Europeans are murdered every day, with Russia, Albania and Kazakhstan having the highest homicide rates for people aged 10-29.

    In its first report on youth violence, WHO's European office says about 40 percent of the 15,000 annual youth homicides are perpetrated with knifes and sharp weapons. Other means include firearms and strangulation.

    Homicide is the third most common cause of death after road traffic injuries and suicides for that age group. Eighty percent of the victims are men.

    The report — presented Tuesday at a conference in London — says Austria, Armenia and Germany had the lowest youth murder rate among the 53 European nations covered by the survey.

    Does this mean we are lagging the civilised word?
    Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
    Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
    Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

      Yerevan is actually a very safe city, and this statistic is cultural, we just don't have the hooligans that some of the other bigger countries have. We also have had a consistently high literacy rate (almost perfect).

        We can thank the Soviet Union for that, not Europe.

          Then why do Russia, Albania and Kazakhstan having the highest homicide rates? Europe used to be safe and most of the violent crime is committed by teenage immigrants or drug gangs.

            Literacy Rate in Europe is still very high, and probably more efficient at it than was Soviet Union

              I was talking about the literacy rates.

              It's high but not higher than ex-USSR countries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._literacy_rate

                Sorry my eyesight isn't perfect.

                Educational standards are high in Europe with the exception of the UK and the Balkan states. The Europeans may well be be dumb, however they certainly aren't illiterate.

                  I would say the standards are high in Western-Europe and Scandinavia, the rest of Europe is not that high and it's lower than it was during the Soviet years.

                    Whilst standards, vary enormously from school to school. Much depends on the countries type of national education system/policy, the quality of the local teachers and the pupils themselves.

                    Western European states like France, Germany, have been overrun by immigrants, as have most of the Nordic states and they are going to hell as a result. Only the smaller European nations such as Finland, and Ireland, still have a high standard of public school education.
