Crime and violence rates all over the country are scary and make the majority of the population paranoid and afraid of everything.
Some people have a reason to be scared for their lives and the lives of their kids because of the horrible things happening every day on the streets of the big cities.
Fortunately, not all the country is unsafe, and there are peaceful places to live nationwide.
