Pretty high in relation to what? I live in the Netherlands, which is considered to be a safe country, right? We have 0.00539 B&E's per inhabitant, whereas the US have 0.068 B&E's per inhabitant. Not that much difference, if you ask me.

12 times more is not a big difference? Blimey!

It's more than 10x higher?

He mis-wrote it. The Netherlands is significantly less, but not by an order of magnitude.

US per 100000 people: 715 Netherlands per 100000 people: 428

For reference, England is 986, Sweden is 1029, Australia is 1017, Belgium is 891, and Japan is 117.
