Motor vehicle theft: 604.18/ 414.17
So Except for burglary and vehicle theft, rates in the US are much higher. |
What I find very interesting about the statistics is not the rate of crime, but the type. Denmark has higher rates of theft and crimes against property, while the US has higher rates of violent crime against persons.
