Comparative Crime Statistics Malaysia vs USA (Updated)

There is a widespread, commonly accepted narrative that Malaysia in general and Johor in particular is a crazy dystopian hellscape, riddled with crime.
Finally, it drove me to do a bit of research, specifically:

What are the comparative crime statistics of USA and Malaysia? 

In a couple categories in particular, the results were surprising. 

Robbery Incidents per Capita:

The worst two countries in the world are two of Americans' most-recommended and visited destinations!! 

Mexico	746,894	618.0	2012
Costa Rica	25,066	521.6	2012

@ #14 we have a country that I love, but I have to reluctantly admit, can be sketchy:

France*

123,814

193.7

2012

@ #27-29 some countries of interest:

UK	65,156	116.2	2012
USA	354,520	111.7	2012
Italy	62,641	102.9	2012

@ # 38,39 here we are, finally:

Malaysia	21,419	81.4	2006
Canada	27,680	79.5	2012

Another site agrees, putting the USA the #18th most dangerous for robbery, and Malaysia #40.

Murder Statistics:

Well, it's an American bloodbath out there. You are literally twice as likely to be murdered in the good ol' USA vs Malaysia.
The top 5 are all neighbors:

Honduras	90.4	7,172	Americas	Central America	2012
Venezuela	53.7	16,072	Americas	South America	2012
Virgin Islands (USA)	52.6	56	Americas	Caribbean	2013
Belize	44.7	145	Americas	Central America	2012
El Salvador	41.2	2,594	Americas	Central America	2012

We find the USA down @ #111:

Niger	4.7	803	Africa	Western Africa	2012
United States	4.7	14,827	Americas	Northern America	2012
Latvia	4.7	97	Europe	Northern Europe	2012

@ #150, Malaysia:

Malaysia

2.3

652

Asia

South-Eastern Asia

Notice, in both studies, you're twice as likely do die in the USA intentionally.

LONG STORY SHORT:
Robbery; 30% more dangerous in the USA vs Malaysia
Murder: 2 x as bad in the USA vs Malaysia.

Stay safe y'all!
