Sr.Citizen,
I don't think it is about more or rising crime, but more about our awareness and info about what is going on. How we each choose to respond will dictate how it will affect each of us.
My strategy is to note what is going on and to do my best to keep it on the back burner of my consciousness so that it doesn't become the focus of my thoughts and attention, or the focus of my conversation.
That helps me to keep out of fear and allows me to respond rather than to react which usually gives me a better outcome. At least that has been my experience in general. For me, negative feelings do not support my well being and only serve to take me down paths that don't serve me.
Still looking forward to our return to TV which I feel is still safer than most cities of the same size.
Enjoy the sunshine! We are still in the wind and snow.
