Compared with its peers, America overall does an unusually poor job of solving killings. The murder clearance rates of other rich nations, including Australia, Britain and Germany, hover in the 70s, 80s and even 90s

And yes, its because the cops are racist and break trust with communities

OK, sure. But this is just "America Bad! Australia Good!"

Yeah, there are also some very bad ways to raise clearance rate, just look at Japan. The premises are very flawed

What does Japan do to clear murders you're talking about?

You don't take on difficult cases, and you ensure that someone is always imprisoned for the cases you take on

I don't know anything about their system but yeah, if they do that they will clear a lot of cases.
