Don't worry, the days of gangsters are long gone. But it is still possible to encounter a robber in disadvantaged neighborhoods, especially at night.
Don't walk alone in Humboldt park, where Latino gangs run rampant, and Austin, where beggarly African-Americans live.
In general, tourists are advised to avoid the southern neighborhoods of the city. The crime rate in the south of the metropolis is much higher than in the north.
