Over half of their burglaries are "hot" burglaries, meaning someone is at home. Their burglars don't care. Here in the U.S. burglars take pains to try to make sure that no one is home. They don't want to get shot.

Home invaders try to overwhelm the resident before he can get to his gun. Typically, if the resident can get to his gun they turn tail and run.

In the UK they have a lot of street knife violence, much more than we do.
