Crime in Casablanca, Morocco

I don’t get the first comment down there. I’m part of the moroccan Jewish community but I lived most of my life between Paris and Brighton, UK. Now, I settled down in Casablanca and locals news are no different from those in the UK. In Casablanca, murders and violent crimes are rare and occurs generally within the same social circle ( divorce affairs or employers affairs) . I’ve never read or experienced any kind of violence in the city. Casablanca is probably safer than París but nowhere as safe as a little town like Brighton.
However, by using normal common sense, you can avoid all troubles in the city.
The city has got a very vibrant nightlife ( corniche ) and many petty crime happens around nigh-clubs as pickpocket would take advantage of drunk people and snap theirs belongings . Although, I’ve never seen a city of that size having such a huge night life during the week.
The culture is very Arab oriented so human interactions are everywhere. Weather is a pushy seller or someone asking directions.

I live in Casablanca. It is not as described by some, as terribly unsafe and dangerous.
Like any big city one must take care, but I walk often and use public transportation (tram, taxi, train) and only ever encounter normal people going about their everyday life. It's also very common for young people to give up their seats to the elderly.
Another thing I've seen regularly is free water. Cafés will have large water jugs for use by passersby.

hi all
this website is really good and offer a good service to everyone to get a true real and clear idea about a city or country where you may have interest to visit

crimes get worse in recent years worldwide especially in big cities
in UK London 17 teenagers been stabbed & murdered 2 gun shoot killed a day
Knife crimes increased daramatically compare it to last decades
But UK police use the "STOP & SEARCH IN THE STREET" IF POLICE FOUND KNIFE THE SUSPECT WILL GO TO PRISON SO TEENAGES STOP CARRYING KNIFES INCLUDING CCTV WHICH DOES HELP POLICE TO CUTCH THE CRIMINALS
in morocco its different who committed crime those left behind no education & no career and most of them comes from villages and small cities
what's makes these criminals using KARKOUBI high drug tablet come from Spain companies through Algeria with high doze and using motorbikes bug kitchen knife & luck of police presence and quick response of course the criminals will rob and run and will not get caught up as there are no CCTV
But recently the Moroccan police are getting to the bottom of it by targeting those KARKOUBI dealers
At least there are not gun shoot crimes which bit save like but to alone at night its risky in any where

Dude i witnessed beheading in the street with my own eye! is this Casablanca or Iraq!! shame on anyone who says these stats are exaggerated. just because it didn't happen to you (yet) doesn't mean it never occurred. there are people in distress who are trying to make their voice heard. don't get in their way. BTW!! that Royal grace where the king release every now and then 1000 criminals to society so they can kill us but still scream "long live the king" when he's venturing in this or that city is a f**ing scam. people with murder case can benefit from it because bribery baby. don't tell me this is not a fucking scam.
