As for UK having a higher "crime per capita" than the US, while the statistics will show that, if you check closely you will also find that the UK statistics include misdemeanor, whereas the US statistics do not.Bullshit. The UK tries very hard to minimize crime stats while the US tries to maximize them. It has to do with the fact that UK police forces want to appear competent whereas US forces want to appear overwhelmed so they get more funding. The fact is, your chances of being assaulted, robbed or having your home broken into and your family raped in front of you is far higher in the UK.
I love the bit where you imply that there are statistically significant numbers of breakins followed by rapes in either the UK or the US.
