This question needs some clarification to be addressed properly.
First of all, what do you consider the western world and secondly, what type of violence are you referring to specifically?

"Fourteen-year-old boys are not part of a well-regulated militia. Members of wacky religious cults are not part of a well-regulated militia. Permitting unregulated citizens to have guns is destroying the security of this free state." Molly Ivins

"The shooter is almost always male. Of the past 129 mass shootings in the United States, all but three have been men. The shooter is socially alienated, and he can’t get laid. Every time you scratch the surface of the latest mass killing, in a movie theatre, a school, the streets of Paris or an abortion clinic, you find the weaponised loser. From Jihadi John of ISIS to Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris at Columbine, these men are invariably stuck in the emotional life of an adolescent. They always struggle with self-esteem – especially regarding women – and sometimes they give up entirely on the possibility of amorous fulfilment. There are different levels of tactical coordination, different ostensible grievances and different access to firearms, but the psyche beneath is invariably the same."

Once the OP tells us his definition of violence I will happily provide statistics.
It's mostly economic hardship. The violence part Tinker is referencing is an essential part of claiming asylum though. Which is where RW media gets its "facts" about violent criminals from the south. How they're "being shipped" up here, and how the RWers try to explain away this allegedly peaceful nation's horrible gun homicide rate which is worst than comparable countries on this planet.
