<p>@highlights1919 it’s bad to assume those areas to be ‘safe’. Crime goes unreported all the time especially in those types of areas. Also, their tends to be more variation in the types of crime in those areas vs. in more downtrodden areas where there’s primarily drug or gang related crime.</p>
<p>There are tons of ridiculously wealthy areas that are crime ridden (drugs, homicides disguised as suicides, rapes, kidnappings, sexual preying, etc.) But the crimes either goes unreported statistically or unreported in the news coverage (unless it has something to do with a child and even then only one type of child actually gets coverage)</p>
<p>I think it’s interesting that people look over white collar crime (such as the recent GM scandal) in order to hone in more on ‘street crime’ when both are equally as devastating.</p>
