Yes there is still crime in the cities, but it's down. Look at any of the metric and you can see that for yourself, don't believe them when they tell you x or y city is a hellhole, etc look for yourself and make up your own mind. There is always going to be crime especially when you have that many people in one location, it's concentrated simply because of the number of people. It's plain and simple don't accept the lies, demand better of your representatives and don't let them get away with telling you otherwise.
Below I am going to link to a number of artciles for you, so you can do your own research and make up your own mind.
