This is only the case because the UK has a higher rate of robberies and assaults. When it comes to rape, both countries are about even. And the US has a 3 times higher rate of murder per capita than the UK.
Getting robbed or getting in a bar fight is one thing. Getting murdered is quite another. I don't know about you but I'd much rather be a victim of the first two crimes rather than the last.
