I guess this is a good example of how statistics can be twisted to fit ones agenda.
It turns out the U.S. (number 24 on the list) has a higher murder rate than England (number 43) or Australia (number 46). Which is more revealing of the facts, a study of the number of people "victimized" by violent crime or an actual murder rate?
