Some of it is obviously the way statics are measures in England vs other countries (clearly So. Africa is more dangerous), but Great Briton is no safe place. Whats interesting is a lot of these countries have very tough gun laws when compared to the US, yet US ranks below Canada? Maybe someone crazy enough to hurt or kill someone by using a gun would also be willing to hurt or kill someone not using a gun…. who knew…
The U.S. has a violence rate of 466 crimes per 100,000 residents, Canada 935, Australia 92 and South Africa 1,609.
