Denmark:

Ohio (not the whole United states):

United States:

Population -
Denmark - 5.614 Million
Ohio - 11.59 Million
US - 318.9 Million
So if you account for size - Denmark doesn't look so good.
That's why you use rates, because it is a number of rapes/assaults per a number of the population. Usually 100k. The size of the population is not relevant when comparing rates.
