Why? You clearly wanted to compare nations, not cities or towns.
How many murders in the USA in the last 30 years?
I was asking you to look up those figures for me because you already found them for the US and UK. If you found them for the US and UK, then why not compare where we live. If you live in Birmingham, you don't benefit from low crime in London. I am not saying there is low crime London. It is just for illustration.
The murder rate in the US is 4.7/100,000. I was asking why for another reason. Electricity is cheap already. "Petrol" is half the price here. Why would I want to pay twice as much there? The unemployment rate is 3.4% in Newport Beach and 4.1% for Orange County. Something on the other side of my country doesn't affect me as much as something on the other side of your country would. The unemployment rate around me is lower than London or England. I used London because it is a wealthier city in England. I find it interesting that London is a very wealthy city and yet it has quite high unemployment and crime is not the lowest in the country. I am not bothered by the unemployment rate as I am not going to fire myself. The health care is more expensive, but you get what you pay for in my experience.
Interestingly enough, even though guns are illegal in England, that doesn't stop Birmingham from being the gun crime capital of the UK.
