Eastern cities can also be safer for foreigners in general. Cities like Prague depend on being tourist hotspots. If they get a reputation for being dangerous, they'll lose a lot of rich people a lot of money. Serious crime against foreigners may be dealt with harshly enough that criminals learn to stick to the locals and limit to mild scams on the tourists. After all, the tourists bring the money that they can then steal from a local at leisure.

>> Cities like Prague depend on being tourist hotspots. No, they don't. Prague is the capitol of Czech republic, there is a lot of business there, and tourists are just nuisance. Same for big Polish cities like Warsaw or Cracow. Crimes against foreigners are not treated any different than crimes against locals, there's simply not much crime to begin with. https://www.numbeo.com/crime/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Poland&city1=Warsaw&country2=France&city2=Paris https://www.numbeo.com/crime/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Pol...
