A higher number of people being effected by violent crime, or a higher percentage?
In one scenario we have a higher population, so more people are effected by violent crime. While in the other we have less people so we have a higher percentage of people effected by it.

No u

There's regularly a higher amount of people affected by crime in cities with bigger population. Just throwing it out there.

I persist too long after my own defeat,
Yet I still press forward, staggering on my feet.
But I know that my resolution will be my end.
And once I fall, I shall ruefully transcend.

By "worse", you imply better, primitive?

That's all I have to say about that.

Higher percentage is going to be more accurate. If we gathered all the violent crime across the world, it would be a high number, but a much lower percentage.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

A higher number!

Break down, every single one of you.

It all depends on the situation. Percentages can be used to trick you, but so can unapplied numbers. You need to know the whole picture.
