The difference is that western europe and america are both considered industrialized, "first-world" nations, and central/south america is either third-world or newly industrialized.
America is interesting because it's more 'capitalist' and less 'socialist' than the rest of the first-world, and one of the apparent byproducts of that is more socio-economic variability. More extreme rich, and more extreme poor, which will inevitably pad the crime stats.
