Not to b!tch to US, but:
About the highest criminal rate, I believe it has something to do with the Republican model where there is no free education, healthcare etc. and therefore many people drop out of the other society and are left without job and no money to pay for their kids education.
Though, in US, the law is more strict as well. Which, in my opinion, is better than in Finland. What I mean is that what would just get you a big fine in Finland, would take you to prison in US.
For the conditions in prison, Finland isprobably even worse. Finland prison is more like a sheltered home or VIP hotel.
