A comment on Decline in European Travelers to U.S.. Parent comment
US big cities were far worse in the 80s than they are today. New York City had a homicide rate of 25.8 in 1980 and it is now 5.3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_New_York_City#Murders...
While still several times higher than other developed countries it is lower than the US average of 6.3.
