My first thought would be is women being abducted and murdered in the UK actually even close to commonplace? On the US side of things, I could make more arguments in favor of systemic racism than I could that women go out and the boogeyman is going to them.
It's not uncommon at all to see women and kids out walking around on their own here where I live (barely red metro) about any time except between like 11pm and 5am anywhere but the sketchiest of areas. Yet I never hear of abduction and murder. The murder is usually black-on-black crime. Not even the Mexicans (of which there are a ton of around here) kill each other like the blacks.
