Not sure why you think the UK has a high murder rate, it's relatively low, better than average for Europe or the Euro area, and in the top 20% worldwide.
At about 0.9 per 100,000 intentional homicides, it's quite a lot lower than the 4.9 per 100,000 intentional homicides in the USA, which is solidly mid-table.
