Lafayette is about as safe as any other college campus, and probably safer than most "urban" campuses. It's never a good idea for students, especially females, to be walking a long distance alone at night, not just at Lafayette but anywhere. Lafayette is so self-contained and "feels" so safe that students tend to forget how easy it is for anyone to walk onto campus. That said, the campus is pretty well-lit, pretty well separated from downtown Easton by the cliff on 2 sides, and all the dorms are locked 24/7. Students get electronic keys that let them into their own dorm building 24/7, and into any other dorm from 6 am - 10 pm.
Any "bad relations with the neighbors" are probably noise complaints, which are to be expected around pretty much any college campus.
My son will be a junior at LC this fall, I don't worry about his safety on campus.
