Urban crime is all about lack of eyes on the street. Well utilized People friendly environments will create safety. (Cf jane jacobs, death and life of American cities)

I wouldn't say it's all about eyes on the street. There are more dangerous and less dangerous neighborhood overall--especially if you're a confused-looking tourist. But I agree that a well-lit busy city avenue will tend to be safer than some deserted street.

I believe pickpockets prefer crowded, busy streets.
