Why is England's violent crime rate 12.8X greater than that of the US (2015 stats)?

3117806 violent crime incidents in England and Wales (2015).

This number does not include the "new definition" offenses.

A rate of 4788.5 per 100,000 population.

1197704 violent crime incidents in US (2015).

Again, without "new definition" offenses.

A rate of 372.6 per 100,000 population.

England's rate is 12.8 X HIGHER than the US.

    It has ALWAYS been that way, mainly because (generally speaking) the worst that can happen to a "yobbo" is he get's beaten sh!tless if he picks a fight with the wrong stranger in England, whereas in the US, the odds are hight that if you punch a stranger they will just shoot you dead...

    Hooligans almost always survive a beating.....bullets are less forgiving!

    Since you choose not to provide the source for your data it isn't possible to accurately assess it - but usually when these extreme looking comparisons come out it is due to different definitions of violent crime.

    I'm just here to see how it will all be blamed on the Brown people that live there.

    There may be different definitions of crime, I don't believe England is that much more dangerous. But generally England has more problems with muggings, assaults and drunken crimes.

    England is infested with Muslims. They turn any society into a toilet. Look at their own countries, no sane person would live there.
