Since India + China are half the world's population, they tend to be around the world average on things. Remove them and the rest of the world's average would probably be ~1.05.

While I agree that domestic violence is a bigger problem for women and am not supported the grandparent poster, I think the higher arrest rates are likely to be a function of men only reporting the more severe incidents to the police due to the humiliation/emasculation factor. If men wait to only call the police when they have visible bruises/cuts, that makes it a lot more likely that the police visit will result in an arrest than when there's no readily obvious physical evidence. This is likely a factor in why 62% of female perpetrators were only reported once as well.

Based on your lack of empathy and desire to see innocent people suffer to protect you, I project you as having a 50% chance of committing a crime in the future. I therefore propose locking you up for life in prison right now so you won't have the chance.

if there was a mountain that was 40,000 Km tall you could jump off it and never reach the ground
Show your math please. The moon is 384,000 km up and even it has to maintain an orbital velocity considerably faster than a jumping person to avoid falling to Earth.
Automatically index the gas tax percent to the state's average mileage the previous year, so that gas tax revenue remains steady and gas prices increase as fuel efficiency improves.
Put another way: we already know a laundry list of bugs, and until those are fixed there's no need to force more people to use it to re-report them.
