Anyone wanna talk about crime?

I like the idea of lemmy because it seems like a place people can have more in depth and less sensational conversations about things, which was my favorite part about OG reddit. I recently moved to Louisville and to my first city for that matter, and I wonder what y'all think about the crime rates. I looked at wiki crime stats for all major US cities and it seems to be about in the middle for most of them. Would you consider Louisville to be more or less dangerous than other cities you've experienced? Is it on a decline or an upswing? Holding steady? And what do you think people can do about reducing the number of incidents of gun violence, robbery, and assault?
