I lived there for about a year and I was a victim of crime 4 different times. I lived in Cambridge. They stole my car, stripped it, then torched it. They stole my $10 bicycle (in my backyard, 2 meter high wall, locked gate). My roommates car was broken into at 4:30 in the afternoon. Stole the stereo face, but not the rest. I borrowed the car, went down to London. They broke the other window (other one was replaced from the first break in). Attempted to steal the stereo, stole my gf coat.
That being said, I enjoyed my time there immensely. All of the cars were UK spec cars there were broken into. But I never really felt for my safety which was nice. -

It's absurd to suggest that the US has a lower crime rate than Britain or Australia. The US has a crime index of around 65, while Australia and Britain are in the low to mid 40s. See here:
