Crime spiking there yet?

9 years ago
I've been considering Nic as a possible retirement/final destination location. As the global economy continues to tube it seems likely that many countries (like Nic) will experience social decay and an extreme rise in desperation related crimes. My Father was a cop and always said that people are only good/nice when they have what they need. Once that disappears...all bets are off. I'm just wondering if it's still worth it to live relatively cheaply in Nic, or pay more to stay safe in Canada? I know that most (on here) either own property there and hope to profiteer off it, or are like single Mothers likely to state how great it is, but I'd appreciate an honest opinion.
Thanks.
