The UK has more crime than us

I find these figures interesting. It seems that many of the happiest countries in the first world are near the top (US, UK, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Germany), which means they have more crime than many more disadvantaged countries. It also seems that many of the countries with the least crime have very strong religious influences in their government, while the top is mostly “free and prosperous”. But what is extremely interesting is how I’ve been hearing that England has less crime than we do. It plainly doesn’t when taken per capita. They have about 6% more crime currently. It’s amazing to me since they have all these measures to curb it such as spy cameras on every corner of London.
Hopefully, no politicians will elect to start this invasive Orwellian crap here. It obviously doesn’t work.
