svelteParticipant[quote=EconProf]Along these lines….many people wrongly buy into the idea that recessions cause crime. But your cited facts belie that conclusion, as crime rates are thankfully falling most everywhere. The national crime rate was unusually low during the Great Depression of the 1930s.[/quote]
This intrigues me…why do crime rates fall during recessions/depressions? It does seem counter-intuitive.

ParticipantIf there is a very high likelihood of being a victim, or if you stumble across the crud in the streets so much that it is depressing, I would scram. Other than that you are going to need to take pretty extreme measures not to see vandalism and the occasional condom , to be able to avoid reading about crime , seeing crime , or even feeling at risk of the occasional crime.
We moved to a better location when we started a family. Schools were an issue too. If it were not for the kids we might have stayed because the old neighborhood was extremely convenient to our lifestyles. You just have to weigh it out to your own comfort level.

ParticipantCrime stats are important, however when many of these crimes occur almost literally in your backyard these crimes impact the psyche of the community.
I do live near a large park, which seems to be a crime magnet – lot’s of places for those committing crimes to hide. Except of course when the police bring in the helicopters with infrared equipment (which seems to be nearly a weekly occurrence).
“be careful who you become romantically entangled with, who you buy your drugs from and which gangs you join and who you pick fights with”
Believe me, you don’t have to do any of the above to find yourself the victim of crime in this part of Temecula. Definitely don’t go out at night though by yourself.
