Britian's crime rate is SO BAD compared to US?

I'm not entirely sure what the point of this comparison exercise is. Are you trying to address the issue of violent crime stats and whether there is a disparity in how they are reported?

I notice that Flint and Detroit top the list. Figures.

If you want me to pick two cites: Boston and Birmingham (picked for the sole reason that they both begin with "B").

My role in this exercise shall be limited to picking two cities at your above request. I do not intend to waste part of my life digging for stats.

You obviously have no conception of the meanings of 'generally' or 'evidence', Oralboy.

There's that grand Setanta hypocrisy, once again, rearing its ugly head.
