Home invasion crime and violence during burglary is much worse and higher in the UK because the homeowner is not likely to have protection. UK has near twice the home invasion rate as the US and they occur when he home is occupied because not only are guns banned, but other forms of self defense are punished. You can't even rest easy beating up a burglar there because if you're not charged with assault by some luck the criminal can always successfully sue you. You can even physically assault someone(start attacking them) and if you lose that fight and suffer an actual injury like an orbital fracture or broken nose/jaw you can sue. To cope with this the populace has been conditioned to think it's actually wrong or "not the best choice" to defend yourself and your home.

Here's another clown world nugget. They have what's called a "known trespasser". So if someone routinely trespasses on your property(a crime in a sane society) they have all the rights and protections of a guest or invited person.

This is all complete BS, We have reasonable force laws. And the known trespasser thing is 100 pulled out of your arse.
