I feel relatively safe in my neighborhood. Of course there is some crime so I am cautious of certain situations.I primarily get my perception of the crime in my area from the news, and from talking to friends and family. Usually these sources are fairly accurate and I find it better to be safe than sorry and expect that someone could commit a crime anywhere. Actually about a week ago my dad's girlfriends car had the window smashed in when they were at the park and someone stole her purse. So there is a reasonable amount of crime in our area, atleast enough to need to make sure you leave nothing valuable in your car, which it did not make any sense why Alison would leave her purse right out in the open at a park.
