I'd argue that impressions are deceiving.

However, though it makes me wonder... why you assume there is a problem in the US then.  If the ways crimes are reported is a worry.

I assume that the violent crime rate would be high in the US than the countries I mentioned because of what I've seen in the media and what I've heard from people who've been there. I'd also expect the violent crime rate to be somewhat proportional to the high homicide rate.
