The whole city and surrounds north of the river is my territory, and I do field engineering for a utility, so I see some pretty sketchy areas, and done really nice ones. McNeil @183 ixx as near some sketchier areas and 183 gives fast access in and out, but it's not nearly the worst. The criminals go where the money and stuff is.
My brother in law is an APD detective, and used to do traffic fatalities. They work hard but the city isn't exactly supportive, at least openly, because of their idiotic virtue signaling attempts to out-sanctimony their peers in other cities. They do what they can but you have to take into account now, sadly, that each of us has to look after ourselves because nobody else is going to be able to.
A big part of it is spotting potent for risky circumstances and avoiding them as much as reasonable.
