Robbery is, "Is 0.67 times the National Average." My bet is that those robberies that do occur are not carried out by Dearborn residents. Instead, the proximaty to the city of Detroit tends to skew the crime numbers.
You claimed that Dearborn is a dangerous place and you implied that robbery was common. However, as a Dearborn resident that does a lot of walking at a lot of different times of day, I very rarely feel any threats.
Yes, Dearborn has a high level of residents of Arabic descent and yes there is most likely some sleeper cells in Dearborn. However, overall Dearborn is not a dangerous place. Especially, considering that Dearborn is divided by the Southfield (a 4 lane hwy. for the lurkers) and is pretty much two cities. One called East and one called West. West Dearborn is filled with the average hard working blue/white collar American as residents and by day it is Fordville.....
The most dangerous situation in Dearborn is when one tries to discuss the President in a UAW member filled neighborhood Tavern. Believe me on that one!

Please FRiend, go back to the original post. I said, "Our area" is a dangerous place. Our area is more than Dearborn.
Along with that, as a woman alone with a baby I did not feel safe going into Dearborn. You may not like that but just as I do not feel safe going to Hamtramck alone with two children, I am allowed my opinion. Geez oh Pete, there are parts of Warren that I would prefer to avoid.
And if you think that a woman alone is safe in the Greater Detroit area, think again. Unless she has a CCW or some self-defense training, she should be cautious.
