I'm not brilliant at this, but don't different countries have different considerations of what is "violent" crime?
In the US, there are 5 "violent" crimes : murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault.
On the other hand, France has over 30 crimes (violent crimes are not a differenciated legal group), as does Spain, Italy and many other European countries.
So, that could be a factor that may skew the number of "violent crimes" per 1000 inhabitants.
However, the figures you seem to raise are percentages of total crimes that are considered "violent crimes". As such, it is interesting to know the number of crimes that form 100%, no?
Well : United States 23,677,800
