Britain More Violent Than South Africa And The U.S.?

[2501]

The most violent country in Europe: Britain is also worse than South Africa and U.S

Britain's violent crime record is worse than any other country in the European union, it has been revealed.
Official crime figures show the UK also has a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and even South Africa - widely considered one of the world's most dangerous countries.
The figures comes on the day new Home Secretary Alan Johnson makes his first major speech on crime, promising to be tough on loutish behaviour.

You read the article right?

"But criminologists say crime figures can be affected by many factors, including different criminal justice systems and differences in how crime is reported and measured.

New Home Secretary Alan Johnson is to make his first major speech on crime today
In Britain, an affray is considered a violent crime, while in other countries it will only be logged if a person is physically injured.
There are also degrees of violence. While the UK ranks above South Africa for all violent crime, South Africans suffer more than 20,000 murders each year - compared with Britain's 921 in 2007."

Always nice to top a poll

They also have high amounts of knife murders and they still have shootings and spree shootings despite their authoritarian gun laws.

Its somewhat unfair to compare them to South Africa since there is basically a genocide being waged against whites there by the communists.

The figures get distorted because public order offences like fighting are classed as violent crimes in the UK.

It will only be classed as a violent crime in other countries if one of the people fighting get injured from it.

Bro, of course I read the article, bro. I'm just posting the article for others to read, bro. I actually wouldn't mind living in Britain just for the cultural experience if it wasn't for the notion than the majority of British women are hags.

The total murder rate is considerably lower than that of the United States. The Daily Mail is scum.

The US has a murder rate of 4.8 per 100,000. The UK is more like 1.4. Oooh higher rate of knife murders! That's because we don't have absurd amounts of firearms.

There's also less people there than here. And I suspect the government suppresses statistics since it would be embarrassing to report that their nanny state is a failure.
