My own perception of crime rate, hasn't changed much from 1992 when I graduated high school and joined the service. I did notice there seemed to less gangs and less shootings over the years, but my perception on the overall danger level of being a victim hadn't changed much. I've always watched who's around me, and what they are wearing out of habit. To this day, If a see certain people, or certain clothing being worn, I immediately get on edge.
