The reason for the flame bait is to turn the thread into what it is not.
All I see above is someone throwing out the source of the article, not the source of the information as the reason to discount it. The source of the information is not the DailyMail. So I'm waiting for someone to disprove the information. BTW, the definition of violent crime is even across the EU and America. So while the same thing may not apply for an undeveloped country, it does for all others. So, who is the first to disprove this? Let me guess, NONE OF YOU CAN! ![]() -S PS. Can we get back on track? Or do we have to start a brand new thread on the subject? |

Sorry. No need to. I asked for you to prove mine first. Read the report if you feel like seeing what countries define what as violent.

You're asking other people to disprove your empty statements? How about you prove the US isn't the most violent western industrialised nation.

its fact.
not all nations have the same laws. Assault - wherein you threaten the use of violence Battery - wherein you USE violence they both might be considered a violent crime in Country "A" but in country "B" - assault might not be considered a "violent crime" by their legal definitions.

you are correct... however - on a global scale, the definition of various crimes may vary slightly.

Let's see what wikipedia says about the matter of murder rates:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._homicide_rate ["Homicide rates per 100,000 population by region and subregion, 2004"[ North America, 6.5 (rate) Europe, 5.4 (rate)

The police in the UK registered 1,158,957 violent crimes in 2007 . http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/por...lent_crime.pdf 1,158,957 divided by 60,578,000 people equals in a rate of: 0.0191316 cases per citizen or 19.1316 cases per 1000 citizens. As the European police report indicates the UK numbers are outstandingly high in western Europe. In countries like Germany with strict weapon restrictions the crime rate is much lower. We have only 217,923 crimes for ca. 82,000,000 people equalling in a crime rate of 2,6 violent crimes per 1000 people.

Firearms are allowed in Germany. Not even cops can take their firearms home in the UK. BTW, where is Germany on this list? -S |

The definitions of violent crime are not even standardized in the different countries within the UK, let alone Europe and the US. The last (controversial) set of changes to the violent crime definition in England are not used in Scotland. Other EU countries have utterly different recording methods and parameters.
