Depending on the area an individual lives in, crime rates can vary. In fairly recent reports, the city of Irvine, located in Orange County, was named the safest city in the United States for the eighth year in a row. A resident living in Irvine may experience less circumstances involving criminal behavior as compared to someone living in Los Angeles. Los Angeles County recently had a significant increase of crime. For those living in a more crime-prone area, it will be smart to research the amount of criminal activities that occur, avoiding and decreasing the chances of personal injury or attack.
