Is England's crime rate higher than ours?

"The violent crime rate in the UK is 3,100 per 100,000, and in the US it is 380 per 100,000 population."
 
Edit: This is just the number Google gave me when I asked. I've heard that England's violent crime rate is about five times higher, but this suggests the difference is greater still.

Some good points y'all are bringing:
 
- lack of parenting at home, principles and discipline
- lack of discipline at school
- lack of faith and/or a believe in God
- the 24x7 world we live in, with non-stop news glorifying violence, social media, texting, etc.
- the violence on TV and video games
 
but it always comes down to the guns, right @posterguy? yeah, I wish every gun owner in America would take this right more seriously... most of us do.

You need to listen to this guy, His name is Henson Ong who spoke before a committee on gun violence. What makes his opinion interesting is he is describing why mass shootings are occurring from the perspective of a Chinese immigrant.
