Most of the crime is generated by a small subset of society. Namely young 
males of black or hispanic decent living in inner cities
They generate an INORDINATE amount of the crime and violence in the US.
To the point that were you to exclude them from the overal crime data, the

US would have crime rates lower than Canada, across the breath of the 
criminal activity list
The GREAT MAJORITY of Americans are actually more law-abiding than the 
residents of such countries as CAnada and the UK

It's the culture of a small subset of society that is the root cause of an

INORDINATE amount of crime
To project their behavior on the general population of the US is 
statistically dishonest
