There is urban crime, but it’s petty.
Once a mob forms the victim of the crime usually ends up defending the pickpocket from a thrashing.
Rarely is there knife or gun violence as is reported from the UK or the US.
- watwut 2y agoI have checked out stats and violent crime specifically is higher in India. UK has slightly more murders. Overall, they are very comparable https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/India/United-Kingdom/Crime https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/India/Unit...
- echoangle 2y agoComparing statistics like this between countries isn’t as easy as comparing the numbers though, the ratio of registered cases can vary and definitions of crimes can also be different.
- watwut 2y agoSure, it is not exact. But rhe claim was literally India has almost no violence while UK has. Even if this stat is inaccurate, it still shows India having plenty of violence and makes the claim dubious.
- echoangle 2y agoRight, I actually wanted to say that India might actually be worse than the stats show, not that the UK is actually worse than India as claimed. Maybe it’s bias but I trust UK stats more than Indian stats.
