UK Knife Crime Deaths per Million:
Knife-related homicides in the UK are approximately 250-300 deaths per year.
Population of the UK (2023 estimate): around 67 million.
So, for knife-related deaths:

Deaths per million = (300 deaths / 67,000,000 people) × 1,000,000
This gives approximately 4.5 knife-related homicides per million people per year.
2. US Knife Crime Deaths per Million:
Knife-related homicides in the US are approximately 1,500-2,000 deaths per year (this can vary slightly, but we’ll use this range for estimation).
Population of the US (2023 estimate): around 334 million.
So, for knife-related deaths:

Deaths per million = (2,000 deaths / 334,000,000 people) × 1,000,000
This gives approximately 6 knife-related homicides per million people per year.
Key Comparisons:
UK: 4.5 deaths per million from knife-related homicides.
US: 6 deaths per million from knife-related homicides.

The gun death crimes in US are an 'added bonus'.
