Official: more muggings in England than US
by Nicholas Rufford Home Affairs Editor
ENGLISH people are more likely to be mugged or assaulted than Americans, according to an official study that shatters traditional beliefs that England is a "safe" country.
The Home Office is urgently studying a report
by the US Department of Justice which shows
that since 1981 crime rates in England and
Wales for most serious offences have overtaken those in America. It is a crime pattern that is being repeated across Europe.
