Really when you talk about dangerous cities, you’re probably talking about dangerous neighbourhoods. Aggregating such stats to entire cities really skews analysis that probably should be looking at urban cores, or certain troubled neighbourhoods or districts.
You can go three blocks in some parts of some citizens and have a radical different vibe between point A and point B.
Behind a number of chain grocery stores here there is a Manitoba Housing Project. They are beacons for trouble. Not just in the core either - in the so called "safer" sections.You can go three blocks in some parts of some citizens and have a radical different vibe between point A and point B.
Yup, bar/entertainment districts always get more than their fair share of stupidity. Alcohol, drugs, and testosterone poisoning…The entertainment district in downtown Victoria is the worst for various types of violence because: entertainment

Well it certainly can’t be raccoons per dumpster…I’m trying to make sense of which statistic this purports to be and I can’t. It doesn’t match the Crime Severity Index, but it’s WAY too low to be a total criminal incidents per 100k it may be using a subset of certain offences, but that’s not clear.
