Britain has a higher crime rate than the US.

Britain is 11% crime rate of over all population (about 60,000,000) and America is 4% crime rate of over all population. (311,000,000)

What is the crime rate in Nepal compared to the crime rate in US?

Crime rate in Nepal is nothing in comparison to US. We can't say Nepal has no crime at all but still it's very less if we compare it with the US. Most of the crime happens with political motivation.Most of the gang leaders were supported by the political parties, so they don't hesitate to commit crime as they always have a political backup to avoid the prison sentence. Nepal police lacks political and community support to deal with this kind of culprits but still they comes heavily if the situation arises. You can ask any tourists who have visited Nepal they will say the country is safe and people are super friendly.
