I'm still thinking that Great Britain still has higher violent crime rates.

Now the weapon of choice in the UK has shifted from guns to knives... Criminals adapting, imagine that.

Anyway, I'm having trouble finding the article that has the stats...

Below is the FBI report for last year.

This is a pretty cool one. It's murder rates only. But it does show that the U.S. has more murders per capita then the UK.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._homicide_rate

This one seems like it's the one I need but I get an error when it loads. If anyone can view it, there is a link in the third paragraph, "Here are some other statistics." I think this is the one that breaks down the crime rates.

I may need to use Firefox...

I'm still pretty sure the violent crime rates in the UK are higher per capita. But, I can't back it up.

Edit: And yes, I think the gun issue is separate but related.
