The more diverse the European country the higher the rate of violence. 

Eh, Britain is one of the most diverse countries in europe, it has a murder rate of 1.0, the european average is 3.0.

Violence is more than murder rate. But it is wrong to compare it to the European average anyway. The implicit assumption was for the same level economic prosperity, obviously poverty is the largest factor influencing violent crime. Even then, it still stands though. Relatively homogenous countries like Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Poland, Czech Republic, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Slovenia, etc  have even lower crime rates than Britain.
