How about you prove that adding in those crimes to the US rate or subtracting them from the Canadian rate would actually change anything?

According to the FBI, the violent crime rate for the US was 475 per 100,000 inhabitants. This doesn't include simple assaults, just aggravated.

 

According to the US DOJ Bureau of Justice Statistics, the 2003 rate of simple assault per 1,000 inhabitants was 14.6 (click on spreadsheets). Multiply this by 100 to get 1460--the rate of simple assaults per 100,000.

 

Add this to the 475 to get 1935--the adjusted rate of violent crime with simple assault added.

 

This is considerably higher than statcan's Canadian rate, which included all types of assault--levels 1, 2, and 3.
