Because the only people who can say realistically that it's a significant problem are coddled Northern Europeans who have never been to a single unsafe place in their lives. The Bronx at night is unsafe. Souther Buenos Aires at night is unsafe. Lima at any time of the day is unsafe. With some luck a few neighborhoods in Paris and London might not be great. I have literally walked all over every large German urban center at night. The only problem it has is the rampant alcoholism and the visibility of the most marginalized, which by the rest of the global standards (and the standards of the same country a few decades ago) are nothing. Seriously, literally, nothing. There's hardly other places in the world that are safer than these countries. Your cataclysmic rhetoric does not bode with reality. At all.
