I read that as 243 per 100,000

Ballpark, but under Australia's 264 per 100,000, more than England and Wales at 227 per 100,000 and less than Scotland at 318 per 100,000.

I deal with numbers and I see those (England, Wales, Australia, USofA) as "ballpark" close to each other .. relative to 170+ other countries about the globe.

The UK and Australia have similiar policing roles and behaviours, quite different to the US - more uniform within the countries, significantly less use of guns and force, etc.
