Is crime a major problem in your city?

Every city has it's own problems when it comes to crime whether they may be petty crimes or serious felonies.

Crime is a problem in my city, Hong Kong though is not as serious compared to most western cities. Though movies whether HK or Hollywood would like to portray Hong Kong as a crime ridden city filled with Triad thugs and drug smuggling, the city in reality is very safe especially for tourists.

Hong Kong crime problems are mostly petty crimes like theft, vandalism. It's serious crimes are organized crime (triads), drug smuggling/substance abuse, illegal immigration, prostitution and illegal gambling. There are some cases of murder in the city but not as big or serious compared to the west.

Hong Kong police force on the other hand is one of the finest in Asia and can handle situation.

Now I would like to know if crime is really a serious problem in your city and what kind of crimes.>
