thankfully i dont live in a high crime area.....more like NO crime at all, i dont live in a city any more( left in 1999) and this area is really peaceful, probably cos everyone knows everyone else and they know where you live! our nearest Police station is 8 miles away, then 13 miles away and they are only PART TIME not manned 24/7. the only time i see a plod is when they fly through in their patrol cars headed for the next town 13 miles away, i havent had reason to speak to a copper for nearly 15 years! you should all try it some time!
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
