Maybe a breakdown, from the best(least likely to get mugged/nicer people), to where getting murdered/raped/robbed is pretty likely. 
I'm not trying to be funny, at all, I just found the above distinctions, to be intriguing.... |
OK, I'll give it a shot, though I'm probably not the best person to ask. There are 5 boroughs - Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island. Long Island is next to Queens (and not a borough but two counties, Nassau and Suffolk) and Harlem is part of Manhattan. I believe the general consensus is that parts of Brooklyn, large parts of the Bronx, and Harlem are probably the worst places crime-wise. Most of Queens is deathly boring and fairly suburban compared to the other boroughs.
Oh, and nobody cares about Staten Island.
