When I compare Calgary and other cities in the world, I think Calgary is a safer city. I have been in Calgary for six months. I just have heard a few victims in this city. For example, one homeless person stole my friend's bag down town three months ago. Also, one person was driving recklessly, and he hit somebody; they were walking outside.
My hometown is safer than Calgary for several reasons, First of all, we don't have homeless people. Also, we can sleep outside without any problems from anybody.
When I want to protect my self from crime, I can do many things. For example, I have to follow the systems in any country I live in. Moreover, I have to avoid dangerous places. Also, I should be cooperative with my neighbors against offenders.
Finally, this is my perspective. I will be happy with your comments except Akoua.
