Discussing this exact same issue elsewhere (the runaway rate of violent crime in Europe) I discovered the Brits don't want us to count street hooliganism as violent crime ~ even if they do curb stomp victims and leave people paralyzed or maimed for life.

Strange discovering the Brits want to protect some crimes!

Can it be that they are embarrassed that they’ve allowed their “Asian” problem to get the better of them?

I recall reading that the rates of strong-arm robberies and home invasion style robberies, where the owners are home, are far higher in England than the US. This, of course is never reported. The question is "why?" While the convicted criminals in England haven't been interviewed, there have been a number of publicized interviews with convicted criminals stating that they're a lot more scared of an armed "victim" than they are of the police.

Something that's pretty much axiomatic, both in nature and in human criminal activity, is that "predators," whether of the two or four legged variety, always seek out the weakest "prey," and tend to avoid prey that is able to defend itself whenever possible.
