If there is a conflict the later will win (with all it's advantages and disadvantages)
What metric do you think would be best, and how does / do you think the US scores on it, depending on the availability of the metric?
In other words, I wouldn't say a #1 total GDP country having issues with murders and solving them is somehow a condemnation of legal system in general.
