I don't trust statistics relating to crime. Living and working in London as i have for 8 years, i have never been the victim of crime, and i feel safe when out and about during the day or night. I felt safe when i was out and about in NYC a couple of years ago (although my friend had $200 stolen by an illegal taxi driver), and i don't really think this 'my city is better / safer than yours' discussion is particularly constructive (leave nonsense like that to the likes of 'GT').

And Fabrizio, not all us Brits binge drink, please don't generalise because a few teenagers get paraletic when on holiday in Italy.
