Even better, the US has a higher knife murder rate than the UK does.

On the other hand IIRC it has a lower rate of at least some types of violent assault.

One possible explanation is the healthcare system - fast treatment makes a big difference to the chances of surviving an attack (and are one reason murder rates have fallen over the years, and why developed countries have much lower murder rates). Does anything in the US system delay treatment significantly?

No, emergency rooms will quickly fix immediate threats to life long before any of the insurance crap enters the conversation.

What about geography, or facilities, or willingness to go into emergency?
