Yeah, we knew that already
We gunnies all seemed to know that Britain and Canada had higher rates of violent crime than the states, though the US has a much higher murder rate. The big criticism of that claim was that the US and Britain didn’t report the data the same (i.e., the US reported from police reports while the Brits used survey data). Well, Gallup to the rescue:
Historians, world leaders and assorted pundits with Yankee bashing in mind have long cultivated the idea that America is a violent place.
Not so, says Gallup, which released a report yesterday revealing that the nation is not necessarily Dodge City: The impact of crime is lower in the U.S. than in Britain, and in many cases Canada.
