You are displaying a bias here. Unless there is a “itbeho’s neighborhood gazette” reporting exclusively on what you see through your front window and THEY’RE saying there is no increase in crime then your complaint doesn’t hold.
My grandfather, in the US, was waylaid by actual bandits operating openly on a major US highway in the 1970s.
In some cities you couldn’t take public transport without almost surely being victimized.
Crime is very much down and that’s especially true for large cities. Maybe you’ve become overly fixated on the topic or maybe your neighborhood is an outlier but that doesn’t make the statistics “wrong”.
