To me "opinions" about crime rates are just a reflection of how
safe or unsafe one feels. The facts about crime rates are here:

For Release
MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2001
9 A.M. EASTERN TIME FBI NATIONAL PRESS 202-324-3691
Table
The Federal Bureau of Investigation today released figures
collected by the Uniform Crime Reporting Program indicating that
the Nation's Crime Index fell 0.3 percent during the first 6
months of 2001 when compared to January-June 2000 data.
The Crime Index is comprised of violent and property crimes.
Overall, violent crimes, which include murder and nonnegligent
manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault,
declined 1.3 percent for January through June 2001 when compared
to the data reported for the corresponding months in 2000.
Property crimes, which include burglary, larceny-theft, and motor
vehicle theft, fell 0.2 percent when compared to the data
reported for January through June 2000. Arson offenses, which are
part of a Modified Crime Index, increased 2.9 percent for the
first 6 months of 2001 when compared to the figures reported for
the same time period in 2000.
Comparing data reported in the first six months of 2001 to those
reported for the same period in 2000, the offenses of murder and
robbery both showed increases-0.8 percent for robbery and 0.3
percent for murder. However, the volume of forcible rapes and
aggravated assaults reported to law enforcement declined by 1.7
and 2.4 percent, respectively. The volume of property crimes
varied with burglary declining 1.2 percent, larceny-theft
decreasing 0.4 percent, and motor vehicle theft increasing 2.6
percent.
By city population groupings, cities with populations of 50,000
to 99,999 inhabitants recorded the biggest decline in the volume
of Index crimes at 1.7 percent. The largest increase in Index
offenses occurred in cities of 250,000 to 499,999 population with
a rise of 1.9 percent. Rural and suburban counties registered
1.9-percent and 0.6-percent decreases, respectively.
By region, Index crime fell 4.1 percent in the Northeast and 1.9
percent in the Midwest. The West recorded an increase of 1.6
percent and the South, an increase of 0.8 percent.
This report is based upon the reports of agencies that submitted
3-6 compatible months of data from January through June in both
2000 and 2001.
