It would be interesting to know the number of refused extraditions the UK has by the country requesting it. I imagine an extradition request from the US would be more likely to be filled than one from a less powerful/friendly country. The US has a "special" relationship [0] with the UK after all.

- heyyyouu 8y agoThey're actually more likely not to extradite to countries with the death penalty, which the US has and the UK doesn't. That's one of the main reasons for the state not to agree to extradition -- the punishment is what the state views as cruel or unusual, which many countries view the death penalty as. Extradition agreements are generally much simpler among countries without it, but that is indeed a generality.
