Well, the reason you probably hear about it so much is that it's a such a tourist destination. There's a higher chance of people from the UK being killed there than in states they're less likely to visit.

Up until recently Chicago had really strict gun laws though and still had high crime. I'd imagine the fact that Singapore is separated from their neighbors by water probably helps them have more control over what comes into the country than a city like Chicago could.

All Florida crime seems to be odd and vicious for some reason. I always remember being perpetually shocked by the evening news when I lived there.
