I've got a feeling from looking at stats like these in the past that it depends how the relevant authority is counting things. Is it counting "numbers of bodies found lying in the streets with suspicious looking holes punctured in them", or is it counting "numbers of said bodies that result in a person ultimately convicted of murder"? In the UK, the police won't admit that there is suspicion of "murder" even if they find a body with its head missing and the words "I did it, ha ha ha, you'll never catch me" daubed across its chest in bloody fingerpainting.
Perhaps if Susan Moore's dad had spent a bit more time on his day job rather than worrying about his daughters love life this situation might have been avoided.
this looks like the same thing as was in the economist, but they highlighted that London has the highest number of threats and assaults of any major city.
Apparently, Vatican City has the highest per capita crime rate in the world. One reported crime a year for every citizen. Of course, these crimes are all petty delinquencies committed by non-citizens of Vatican City (unless the pope goes pickpocketing incognito).
I have a feeling that New Orleans would seem like a haven of personal security in comparison to the Cape Town township of Nyanga, which has the highest murder rate in murder-happy South Africa.

Just rubbish at finishing the job in London then.
No, that's just good 'crop management'. You mug your victim, leave him a few years to fiscally recover, then you mug him again.

You mean the London murder rate might actually be 20 times what the police say it is?
There was a story about 5 years ago of some presumably black youths breaking into a suburban Toronto home. Finding photos of the family around the place, they wrote a note saying "Sorry. We didn't know you were black." and left without taking anything.
