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

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

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

Murder rate, but not in terms of overall violent crime. Unless things have changed in the past few years, which I doubt they have given the fact that the US crime rate keeps falling.

which numbers did they use for these statistics? did they just use numbers every country releases as "violent crime" or did they make the own statistics to be sure every number as exactly the same kind of violence as "violent crime"?

just as example, they write "The U.S. has a violence rate of 466 crimes per 100,000 residents, Canada 935"

and that's exactly what i was talking about in my other post, they count much  more in canada as violent crime as they do in usa, so you have to put canada and other countries lower or you have to increase the number of usa drastically. it makes no sense to compare the numbers if one country doesn't count something as violent crime and the other country does.
