I came across a stat the other day that observed iirc that US has about 180 cities with a population greater than 200,000, while UK has only about 50 at that level. This is also interesting: http://www.nationmaster.com/compare/United-Kingdom/United-States/Crime <quote> Crime stats: United Kingdom vs United States British Crime stats American Crime stats Assault victims 2.8% 1.2% Drug offences 183,419 per 100,000 people 560.1 per 100,000 people [WTF! But believable!] Perception of safety > Walking in dark 70% 82% Rape victims 0.9% 0.4% Total crime victims 26.4% 21.1% </quote>
