Although Germany is generally thought of as an obedient nation,

So Germany has a much lower crime rate than Britain? Or does it just
happen, that the writer couldn't be bothered to check facts?

Perhaps the German criminal are obedient to a different set of rules ?


But the kind of evidence for "obedience" I think of would be conduct
similar to someone's report from Canada of the good citizens waiting in
the snow for the green man before crossing the street in spite of the
complete lack of traffic.
