I couldn't find any good comparative statistics, but I hear about people being extradited to the US a lot more than from, giving the appearance of a rather one-sided relationship. The treaties may be the same, but they don't seem to be used the same.
- yorwba 8y agoAccording to the UK's Home Office, the US requests more extraditions of UK citizens than vice versa, but that might be due to the relative population sizes. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/extradition-requests-between-the-uk-and-us-from-april-2007-to-may-2014/extradition-requests-between-the-uk-and-us-from-april-2007-to-may-2014 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/extradition-reque...

- GlenTheMachine 8y agoThat’s partially because the US is a espionage target to a far greater extent than most other countries.
- jnaddef 8y agoWell, following Snowden's revelations we learned that NSA was spying on European countries' citizens and administrations, the US president (Obama at the time) just said that spying on allies was a perfectly natural thing. This is definitely a one-sided relationship. You can be sure that the US will never extradite anyone for that at least.
