Enforcement in Paris is getting more effective. A decade ago it was very rare to see them; now I seem to come across them about once a week.
I don’t think danger was a problem in Paris. They always work as teams of ~5 people and I’ve never heard of them being specifically assaulted (unlike, say, bus drivers, unfortunately).
In any case, London seem much better, both in terms of (perceived) safety and fare jumping. On the other hand, there are TfL agents everywhere (which is expensive, but you can’t jump the gates), and the fares are much higher.
