England has worst crime rate in world
By David Bamber, Home Affairs Correspondent
(Filed: 01/12/2002)

England and Wales have the highest crime rate
among the world\'s leading economies, according to a new report by the United Nations.

The survey, which is likely to prove embarrassing to David Blunkett, the Home Secretary. shows that people are more likely to be mugged, burgled, robbed or assaulted here than in America, Germany, Russia, South Africa or any other of the world\'s 20 largest nations. Only the Dominican Republic, New Zealand and Finland have higher crime rates than England and Wales.

According to the comparison of international crime statistics produced by the UN\'s Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention, England and Wales had 9,766 crimes for every 100,000 people in the year 2000. America had 8,517, South Africa 7,997, Germany 7,621 and Russia 2,022.

During the period 1998-2000, Britain went from fifth to fourth worst in the world league table. An analysis of total recorded crime figures before 1998 also suggests that England and Wales have moved sharply up the league table since Labour came to power in 1997. Crimes fell from 5.5 million in 1993 to 4.5 million in 1997. By 1999, total crimes had risen again to 5.3 million.

Last night Oliver Letwin, the shadow home secretary, said: "This does rather blow a hole in David Blunkett\'s claim that New Labour has crime under control. It is a damning picture."

The UN reports also shows that England and Wales are the second-worst places in the world for assaults, with 851 people assaulted per 100,000, and seventh for burglaries and car theft, with 1,579 burglaries per 100,000 population.

Criminologists believe that a note of caution needs to be introduced into analysis of the data, because of the different ways in which UN member countries record crimes.

A Home Office spokesman said that officials had not yet seen the report and so could not comment.
I was like :eek: when I saw that their rate is higher than the US and SOUTH AFRICA.

What happened to all of that stuff about gun control making less crime? Oh well.

Less violent crime, not less crime overall.

Besides, gun control isn\'t any bigger in Canada really, and their gun related death rate isn\'t even near ours.  It\'s a small, small fraction.  I guess gun control isn\'t really the problem.

You almost seem proud of it Gohan.

I also found it funny that New Zealand, a country of 3 million people had a higher crime rate then England. Guess shagging sheep gets alittle boring after a while.

Why would population matter?  Isn\'t crime rate with respect to population?

In those crimes, the victims are far more likey to survive than the victims in the US, Mexico City, Manila, Cape Town etc.

Like the article said,

Violent crimes are something I\'d worry about. Muggins, burglaries and such are normal in every country. Well...except in Switzerland and Singapore (so I\'ve read).

Yeah, its in relation to population, but the smaller the population the worse it seems.

If New Zealand only has a pop of 3 million, yet its got one of the highest crime rates it sounds bad as apposed to somewhere like the USA with a pop of like 288 million with a lower crime rate.

^^^Well, it is bad. If New Zealand has a higher crime rate than the US and England that does not mean that NZ isn\'t that bad because they have a smaller population. It pretty much means that they are worse. I don\'t see how it isn\'t bad.

It pretty much means that for every 100 thousand people, this many crimes were commited.
