Tell you what ...... issue you with a challenge ....... post this in the SA section and tell them that crime in the UK is worse than in South Africa, and see what you come up with. Bit of research?  |
lol .... dont tempt me - I enjoy researching! ..... I dont disagree with the point you were originally making Strav - and neither do I dispute that serious / violent crime in SA is probably a lot higher per capita than in the UK .... I havent re read the article, but may do later
but Im sure some of the stats were based on number of crimes to population numbers. Also "serious crime" should be divided into certain levels of seriousness ... for example Murder should sit seperately to other violent crime (GBH / Assault with intent etc) to make the figures more comparible.
If you seperate the levels of "seriousness" as applied in Courts/Legal Terms then perhaps we would have a much clearer picture - and quite possible a very different outcome in terms of where the most violent Country is !
