simple question (I think): in a city where most of the population is under 30, smoking drugs are legal, and so on... how's the crime rate?
what zones should i skip living in?
thanks

Keep away from allys or "gang" related areas.
Near the towns "red light district" is also a place to stay away from at night.
Mostly crime in the netherlands is pocket stealing, rape, vandelism and house breakins.

I see, but specifically, what areas / streets to avoid?
As cook, I'll get home late (2-3am most of the time), and really don't want to end up in a conflictive zone
