The wacky thing about violent crime stats is that once you go outside certain neighborhoods with certain socio-economic demographics within our major cities, the stats are quite different. I am sure this is true in most other places in the world as well.

The vast majority of neighborhoods in the USA are relatively gun crime free wether the juristicions have liberal gun laws or not.

Oh I agree, there are "bad" places like that in the UK too as well as any other country I suspect, but I have a higher chance of being stabbed then shot and I believe you have a higher chance of defending your person against someone who is trying to stab you then some bullet unless you can catch them with teeth. :P

You can't stop crime, but I believe you can limit the damage it causes.
