Of course, this is highly misleading, because of the way difference that crime is counted. In the U.S, 'violent crime' is 4 different things, while in the U.K. they put many more different crimes into that category.

So, this is sort of 'liar liar your pants are on fire' type of claim

PolitiFact | Social media post says U.K. has far higher violent crime rate than U.S. does
