Britain is often quite different from the rest of Europe, but even among
the different european countries ther are bigger differences than between
different US states. It's not entirely inaccurate to consider Britain
midway between the two continents, even if its inhabitants would say that
their continent is midway between those two islands :-))

It anyway true that some crime categories are often not reported to the
police at all, and those categories may be very different in the US and
Europe.
