Statistics don't tell the whole story, but I find this kind of interesting:

According to City-data.com, Worcester has 230 registered sex offenders. A ratio of 793 to 1 (or .1259% of the population)
If you look at the City of Boston and its surrounding neighborhoods, only Mattapan was worse (.1292% of the population)

Can someone explain to me the panhandling = feeling unsafe thing? I was pandhandled every other doorway when I lived in SF. I'm pandhandled every day in Boston and was in Chicago as well. Its happened in Indiana, Wisconsin, Vermont and every other place I lived. Never once did I feel unsafe, just sorry for them. What makes "can you spare a dollar" contribute to a feeling of being unsafe for some people?
