Maybe we should consider the murder rate per 100,000 inhabitants in year 2000:
USA: 5.5,
France: 1.75
Most European countries: below 2.
If you compare with violent crimes only:
USA: 506 (inc. murders 1.08%)
France: 237 (inc. murders 0.74%)
The article says 702 incarcerations per 100,000 of population, that's very close to 506 violent crimes but who knows how many crimes an individual commits.
