> What do you think about all those videos on how dangerous Paris is?

The question to ask is why those videos are being made.

Paris, as other people have pointed out, has a much lower homicide rate than big US cities.

However for pickpocketing, paris is notorious. But getting actual stats that are comparable is difficult.

Homicide in US cities is an inner city issue. It's not mainstream. There's bad areas - stay out of them.

It depends if pick pocketing is ubiquitous or prevalent only in specific places.
