I have heard it said by a Brit that a lot of British people feel safer on the streets than they do at home. Their criminals prefer to do house calls where they are protected by the walls of the victims residence. That is another reason why few people in Britain live alone (cost of living is another).
What about unreported crime? Here is a poll that is very interesting.
