Lots of comments about relative safety of US vs European cities.

Looking at the data, you need to scroll past 9 US cities (all big cities) until you find the first European city (relatively small city you never have a reason to go to) in this crime ranking: https://www.numbeo.com/crime/rankings.jsp

Europe is definitely safer than the US.

The "problematic" parts of Copenhagen and many other European cities are often counted as being part of other smaller suburban municipalities/cities that are too small to appear on such lists.

Nation-wide statistics show that Europe is definitely much safer than the US. However I would rather compare metropolitan areas than cities.

Which 9? I see 5, then Bradford, UK
Brexit?
I didn’t realize Brexit meant you change a continent
They have always been a non-continental island AFAIK
They left the EU, not Europe
Aside for the active warzone.
