 I don't think the UK's violent crime rate has been below that of the US any time in the past decade.

Well not since some idoits in the E.U. made us take half of the third world most violent criminals, with no option to deport them after time served in prison.

Yeah. I really hope Cameron's talk about a referendum on the EU wasn't just hot air.

Going by murder rate the US has a pretty good lead on the UK

Other violent crimes I am sure we are ahead of also.

i believe the institue in america counting the violence rate (no clue which institute) only counts aggravated assault and something else as violent crime and most other developed countries count every kind of assault even if it is without weapon usage or serious harm. i read this anywhere some time ago. that's as example why violent crime rate in canada is more than twice as high as the rate in usa, but is this really true? (about usa/canada, uk is really high and maybe above usa).

but it's not so easy just too look at the numbers these institutes of different countries release and just saying then "see, this country has a violence rate of xy and that country has a rate of z".

that how i understood it, no clue where i read this
