Yes, this is cherry picking.  This graph is about white crime.  This is the next chart:

 

you are right that was my mistake

i skimmed this and didn't take the adjustments into consideration

 

regardless it is a fact that the UK has a higher rate of violent crime

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-25671/Violent-crime-worse-Britain-US.html

and its increasing : https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/apr/27/violent-rising-england-wales-police-figures-ons

Your fonts contradict what you're saying. The first one is from 2001, being extremely outdated. The second one, though, shows a graphic comparing the crime rate from 2006 to 2016, and it is actually decreasing. It had a slight increase compared to 2015, but a huge decrease from 2006. I'd recommend you read the whole article before contradicting yourself next time ;)

And according to UNODC's Global Study on Homicide, the UK has a homicide rate of 1.0 per 100k population, while the US sits at a 4.7. That's worse than Turkey, Ukraine, Iran, Tunisia, Lybia, Syria, and many other "violent" countries.
