More people dude, we're not living on an island over here. Either way if you insist on painting the UK as some non violent paradise, cool. It's not true but cool. Every country has a back alley. And it's there where the "scary" things happen. Don't need to be in the US for that.

Higher rate of stabbing in the US. If you knew 1000 people in the US and the UK; in the US they would be More likely to be stabbed as well as more likely to be shot.

But you're more likely to be raped in the UK.

Or sexually assaulted. Or physically assaulted. Or robbed. Idk about you but I'd take a gunshot than a dick in the ass but that's just me.

Serious assaults do seem worse; probably without access to deadly weapons, you’re just more likely to get punched instead. 

The website you sent does not offer comparison on sexual Assault or robbery between the two countries so I’m not sure what the difference would be.
