I think the US has, without doubt, a very serious crime problem. However, it can't really be compared to another country because the STATS alone are so different. Just the size and population makes it quite a challenge to control. To make it more difficult, due to terrain, what laws make sense for a more urban area or city...make no sense for a rural area which is less populated with humans....but more populated with wild animals.

We also get many immigrants from elsewhere that their own country doesn't even want. EX: If you want to be in the drug traffic business....you move to the US. More money due to more people and less control due to so many people. Same is true for any racketeering (sp?) enterprise.

Interesting link: http://www.chicagocrime.org/map/ and that's only ONE of MANY cities.
