Is crime getting worse? Is safety getting more complicated during this recession?

[Uncle Wong]

Crime in the USA is getting worse every day since there is no charge for crimes under $1000 of damage. No one pays for the bus anymore. Liberal hellhole

People greatly exaggerate the safety of the United States. Outside of a small number of cities here it is very safe in the United States. Nothing like what you see in some of these cities in Latin America.

I saw this guy getting beat up by the Leftists in BA. He is literally getting chased for blocks and getting punched. Aren't there police around? Aren't people afraid of getting arrested? I guess maybe installing cameras all over the city isn't a bad idea.

I saw that yesterday. Probably wasn't smart going to that crowd but I agree with you about the lack of police and how quickly things can escalate. I guess these people aren't scared of getting arrested which is scary.

The Kukas aren't scared anymore which is a dangerous thing. They vandalized a car at an event Karina Milei was at.

I think you're just seeing the frustration of these people. They know their days of freeloading are over

Probably not a good idea!

I find Buenos Aires to be a very safe city compared to other world capital cities. I have seen far more crime in my many trips to Paris vs. Buenos Aires. Much of the crime in Buenos Aires is non-violent crime and by far the most popular is cellphones getting stolen. Also, if you wear an expensive watch it WILL get stolen. I can't emphasize this enough.

For those worried about getting their phone stolen, look into getting one of these bad boys.

That is funny. People talk about how bad BA is with phones but I didn't see anyone getting their phones taken during my 2 week trip. I heard 10,000 phones a day are stolen there. I guess we were lucky.

Buenos Aires, like many major cities, has safer areas and some that may be a bit more problematic. Overall, it's important to stay aware and take precautions, but it's not an inherently unsafe city. Cell phone thefts, for example, are isolated incidents and do not represent the norm. Most people enjoy their time here without any issues. It's just advisable to stay alert, avoid displaying valuables in public, and follow the same precautions you would in any other big city.

It’s just as Legend says, you just need to be cautious and avoid talking on your cell phone in the street. It’s like any big city. If you’re in neighborhoods like Palermo or Recoleta, it’s uncommon to see criminal incidents, so don’t worry too much about it. It’s more about what people say than how things really are.

Crime in many cities around Argentina are going down. Look at Rosario. Murders are going down.

I just saw there was a murder in Recoleta. Rare. Does anyone know what happened?

I was really surprised to see that happening in Recoleta. It said in the news it was drug crime-related. Fortunately, you don't witness these types of things in the nicer neighborhoods too often.
