Is there a lot of crime in Medellin?
We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...
"Medellin is like any big city; it has its share of crime. But statistically, it ranks safer than many US cities. Much less gun violence than in the US," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Medellin, Colombia.
"Medellin has a history of high crime rates, particularly in the past. However, in recent years, the city has seen a dramatic decrease in crime due to increased security measures and a focus on social programs. Despite this, the city still has a reputation for being dangerous, and visitors should take precautions when travelling there," commented one expat who made the move to Medellin, Colombia.
