Your thoughts on crime in Britain are extremely wrong. The crime rates in the UK are much higher than back in the US. Violent crime is especially high. It is easy to find independent statistics on crime in the UK relative to the rest of the World. One of the best and most important recent studies show Britain has the highest crime rates in the developed World.
It is easy to think of the UK as a place of tea and crumpets, men in bowler hats winking to Miss Poppins but the slightest research will show how far from the truth that is, I suggest, on such an important subject, you really should look into independent research instead of presumption.
That said, the UK is still a wonderful place to visit and, if you use common sense and avoid areas in the same way as you would at home, it is extremely unlikely you will be a victim of any crime.
Enjoy yourselves!

I should have said. The US has much, much higher murder rates.
