George,

Auto theft is a serious problem in the UK. In any city where you would travel, violent crime is very low.

From your article:

Figures released by the FBI last month appeared to show that serious crime in America fell by seven per cent last year, extending a decline that began eight years ago. Among the factors cited were stiffer gun control laws, a crackdown on drug dealing, and tougher sentencing. Rape figures, not mentioned by CBS, are still three times higher in the US than in England and Wales.

What happened 8 years ago?
