OK... dunno why I'm bothering to take you seriously...

The stats page you used, or "preferred" to use
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cr...mes-per-capita

(and.. sure as hell not claiming that is accurate)

actually shows that the EU has total crimes per capita of 49.2138 while the US is quoted at 80.0645.

There are also massive underlying differences in crime, the crimes themselves and the treatment of crime reporting - so even that is open to speculation.

But please - don't use a load of bullshit to go on some weak agenda. If you have any serious interest in crime rates - fine - but otherwise what's the point?

Who gives a shit whether the EU is "better" than the "US" or not?
