okay...generally I feel safer in UK cities than I do in comparable parts of US cities. I will walk in the center on London at night on my own and feel pretty sure nothing is going to happen to me.
That said, I feel very safe in the country/small town areas of the States and I don't have enough experience of those areas in the UK to comment.
The one thing I will say in the UK is that amongst some groups it is considered more acceptable to do petty crimes than it would be in the community I grew up with in the States. Shoplifting, benefit fraud, etc and that kind of thing. However, the vast majority still feel it is unacceptable and I have only once been a victim of a crime in the UK in the ten years I have lived here and that was having my wallet stolen about five years ago.
