  The two violent crime rates are not directly comparable, found this elsewhere but felt it was worth posting:

  The UK rate includes common assault -- simple assault, no injuries, the lowest level of assault.
  The US rate does not.
  The crime survey data shows that 37% of the "violent crimes" reported were "common assault (no injury)".

  The UK figures include "sexual offences". The US figures include only "forcible rape".

  8% of the recorded crime figure for violent crimes in the UK is "other violence". Where is that in the US figures?
  15% of the recorded crime figure for violent crimes the UK is "harassment". Where is that in the US figures?
  5% of the UK survey-reported crime is "snatch theft" as distinct from "robbery".
