Britain crime rate rises; US rate declines

While most Americans are witnessing dramatic decreases in violent and property crime, our friends and allies across the pond in Britain are experiencing alarming increases. In a recent British news article, the writer lamented the loss of British citizens who have fled the United Kingdom and moved to Australia or the United States. They estimate that over a quarter-million Britons leave the British Isles each year.

Last year alone over 324,000 Brits left for greener pastures in the US and Australia. However, Britain's population continues to grow with massive immigration and their higher birthrate. Brit flight — coupled with a lower birth rate among Britons — will almost certainly accelerate a change in demographics.

Like rats leaving a sinking ship.


And lest any crazed leftist propagandist desperately attempt to perpetuate the usual leftst lies:

The International Crime Victims Survey, based on 34,000 telephone interviews across 17 countries, found that 26 percent of people -- more than one in four -- in England and Wales had been victims of crime. The figure for Scotland was 23 percent and in Northern Ireland 15 percent. The United States had a 21 percent crime victimization rate.

After Australia and England and Wales, the highest prevalence of crime was in Holland (25 percent), Sweden (25 percent) and Canada (24 per cent), all higher than the United States.

In fact, if one discounts crimes committed by illegal aliens -- almost 30 percent of American crime -- the US would show even more dramatic decreases in violence and crime.

And what has been the British government's reaction? There are suspicions that crime reports are being manipulated to cover-up the increased dangers to public safety.

I have a feeling after the financial crisis things might look a bit different.

Well obviously, if so many Brits are moving to the US, the US crime rate will fall!

EDIT:

We still have more murders than the UK per capita.

Big deal. Show a side-by-sde comparison of the per-capita consumption rates for Haggis, cabbage or Kidney Pie. I'm staying right here.

I also think that if British people are anything like Irish (and I have reasons to believe they are) a lot of the people "emigrating" to Australia will only be going on a year Visa to go out and see the world rather than to "go to greener pastures".

Murder does sound preferable under those circumstances...

Correct. Brits commit more crimes and pay for them less. It's more lucrative for the criminals that way. They are able to spend more time mugging and selling dope and less time in prison.

Now if only the British government could figure out a way to tax the criminals' profits....but sales tax does that indirectly...hmm. So the government saves money by not keeping them incarcerated, and makes money by raking their profits with sales tax? Is that how the system works?

I'm just trying to understand the inherent superiority of the Europeans I've heard so much about.
