Is there a lot of crime in Medellin?
We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...
"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," remarked another expat who made the move to Medellin, Colombia.
"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," explained one expat living in Medellin, Colombia.
