It's a shame to see the crime increasing in Worcester. It was a safe city.

I feel very safe in Worcester. Like any city, you have to avoid certain places at certain times. There are exceptions, like that guy who got shot in a road rage incident during morning rush outside Honey Farms. But overall Worcester is a relatively safe.

When? Everyone I know who lived here in the 80s and 90s is always talking about how much worse it was then. I’ve lived here since 2009 and honestly it’s not bad compared to most major cities. Most of the shootings here are targeted at individuals involved in drugs or gangs etc. If you stay out of trouble your chances of being shot are pretty low.
