> What kind of crime? Violent? Non-violent? The US has more murders than Europe for sure. This is the simplest statistic to collect, because the definition of a dead body doesn't vary, and in any functional country almost all of them end up in the morgue. For other violent crimes like assault it's not so clear, by some numbers Canada & UK lead the US. Maybe it's easier to punch someone if you don't need to worry that he may have a gun. Or maybe the police record similar events differently, or never hear about some events. For rape IIRC Sweden is the only western country which makes the world top 10, the US is way down the list. But this has under-reporting problems everywhere, and perhaps much larger ones some places than others.
