The first area of Liverpool I picked was L6, which has a higher crime rate than the very condensed Hull City centre area that Dally picked out at the beginning of the thread so Dally, your silly little finger pointing diatribe has been shown to be based on untruths and manipulation of a set of 'facts'.
I haven't lived in Hull since the late 80s when I thought things were pretty bad then. It is true that Hull does have some problems and there are inherrent issues with education & the attitude of some of the populous, however you can pretty much write the exact same story from looking at most cities/large towns in the UK.
From an anecdotal POV I feel safe when I'm in Hull, not because I was born there but you get a flavour of it and I don't have to think twice about walking the streets alone at night (I wouldn't go out of my way mind in an area I didn't know)
However there are a fair few parts of the UK that I would never do the same even though I know I can handle myself and not exactly vulnerable looking. There are some seriously dangerous people on the streets especially London, Manchester & Liverpool amongst a few places I'd just avoid even during the day time to be perfectly frank.
