Why crime is so rare in Iceland
2013-12-03
My guess, after reading the article, would be that Iceland has a population of 300,000. Crime flourishes in anonymity. I'm guessing that culturally the Icelanders still retain a sense of shame, though never having been there I could be wrong.

#3  Racial homogeneity. No blacks, no Mexicans. There are drawbacks to being a melting pot and not controlling what goes into the pot.
