- hga 16y agoEngland may be something of a special case; as I understand it, from around 1,300 until sometime post-WWII it had a steadily declining crime rate. One or more things prior to the more recent wave or waves of immigration changed that. (I have my own thoughts on that, starting with e.g. the 1950's court decision(s) that effectively eliminated the right of self-defense, but that's for another discussion.)
