This is how I would rank the various neighborhoods of Boston, from safest to most dangerous.
1. Back Back (wealthy area of the city)
2. Beacon Hill (must be rich to live there)
3. North End (also, expensive)
4. South End (high gay male population, keeps crime low...but pricey)
5. West Roxbury (a bit less urban, more single family homes)
6. Charlestown
7. Jamaica Plain
8. Hyde Park
9. South Boston (not to be confused w/ the South End, mostly Irish)
10. Alston/Brighton
11. Roslindale
12. East Boston
13. Dorchester
14. Mattapan (high minority population--high crime)
15. Roxbury (high minority population--can be deadly)
