The Daily Mail is not a good source for, well anything.

Already you can see that adding up those categories doesn't make sense as some will overlap (in particular violence and the other two).




Sure, there's some overlap between assault, rape, and robbery. But the underlying point is sound. What makes a city dangerous includes one's overall chance of being victimized, not just the chance of being murdered. And if you look at those other categories you'll find the US is not leading the pack.


From the point of view of the police, murders are a much bigger deal than robberies, because they are generally the result of organized violence.
