Actually the UK isnt. More violent than it was, but in modern times the UK has had a very low level of violence.
“Actually the UK isnt. More violent than it was, but in modern times the UK has had a very low level of violence.”
That’s probably true, although some of the stats coming out of there for non-violent crime look pretty bad. In any case, I just throw out that line whenever a violent crime in another country is in the news, since the US is always being called violent due to our gun culture (I stole the line from Beverly Hills Cop).
