Maybe you should read the papers! Article of July 2, 2009 and the EU rating of violent crime. In short, UK per 100,000 2.034 and then Austria 1.677 and the list continues and SA comes in with 1.609 in TROUBLESOME spots. Hope that helps! Oh and by the way this comes from an official EU report across WW countries incl USA. Should you wish more info on the report I will let you have the email address.
