The Black Chapter

So you are saying that 3 years will make a difference in crime rates?
Has everyone in England suddenly dropped all their knives, decided that mugging is no good, and started singing ,"Why can't we be friends?"
No, but the article suggests the exact opposite of what you're saying:
....criminologists say crime figures can be affected by many factors, including different criminal justice systems and differences in how crime is reported and measured.
In Britain, an affray is considered a violent crime, while in other countries it will only be logged if a person is physically injured.
There are also degrees of violence. While the UK ranks above South Africa for all violent crime, South Africans suffer more than 20,000 murders each year - compared with Britain's 921 in 2007.
In conclusion - broader definition of 'violent' crime, better/more comprehensive reporting system, and Daily Mail.
