The EU is far more laced with crime than The US overall. Suicide rates are way higher in the Eu than in the US , and poilce per capita in EU countries is also higher than in the US. Yet with all the cops and the absence of guns, one is still more likely to be a victim of crime in the EU than in the US.

And the lists like this go on and on.

Even then, there are way worse places in the world to live in relation to crime than either the US or the EU.

Step back and take in the big picture, the true picture. Not some slighted focus like you are purporting.

Uh, please look at the comparative population densities of Europe, and the USA (and its obvious implication on crime levels), before you continue on that conclusion. The bigger picture.

The area's (km2) of Europe and the USA are roughly the same (with Europe having a 5-10% larger land area than the USA). Whereas Europe has a staggering 730, 000, 000 population, comapred to the USA's 300, 000, 000. Giving Europe a population density of 70 (people per km2) to the USA's 30. Does this account for anything?
