You expecting it to be higher (pickpockets, assaults...) due to the crowds and increased opportunity, or lower?

Thinking as a criminal it would be a winter wonderland.
I was curious though also about the ethnic angle. I read a recent article which blamed the rise in crime rates on a suburbs increased African American population.

We have an abundance of crime in Hawaii, and less than 1/2 of 1 percent of the population is black.

Response: That reminds me of that one black comic who was busting on Alaska and Palin because they didn't have any blacks or crack heads up there.

We don't have many black people, but we sure have plenty of crack heads.

Saw a documentary on National Geographic Channel once about drugs in Hawaii, and you posted a picture someone in your church (maybe your son?) took and was doing some work on that topic, right?

Around the mall it is relatively safe. The part of DC you do not want to end up in is Southeast and in the nearby county Prince Georges, MD. Even these places are for the most part safe during the day.
