Generic post like this come of as both ignorant and lazy. What specifically are you wanting to learn? Crime is, for the most part localized. Even in the safest cities, there are neighborhoods where there is more crime. If your criteria for deciding whether or not to take up this internship is the avg crime rate; then the decision is done and this post redundant. Look elsewhere.

If however you want to know how safe you can expect to be, assuming you lived and worked here; start by providing information on where you will work, what hours, where do you plan to live, how do you plan to commute, age, gender, size, visible tattoos indicating gang affiliation and so on. Information that will actually help the members on this board give you intelligent and useful feedback.

PS> perhaps the mods can add a sticky with a list of standard information that is mandatory for posts like this.
