Well, yeah, but like you said that depends on how that crime is organized. Some tends to be extremely racist, and that can end badly if you're the wrong ethnicity - there's places I wouldn't feel very safe being white at all.
That said, not much of this fazes me... I grew up in an area probably worse than any of these (in 90's St. Petersburg, Russia), where a lot of the violent crime was not organized. Things happen, but in general it helps if you're street-wise - and that's not something that is terribly complicated.
