Crime in Dublin, Ireland

Living in a Dublin suburb on the northside my whole life and I can tell you anywhere other than the posh neighborhoods in the south is dangerous and riddled with crimes. As some people pointed out the police are useless, are not respected and don't bother patrolling the rough parts of town.

O'Connell street is so dangerous at night and what did the Garda do? They closed down the station on O'Connell and the place is littered with knackers and scumbags. Not pleasant to go into town any more as of 5 years now at least.

Would not recommend and on the contrary, stay away unless you want to be mugged and beaten up by a bunch of 15 year olds who are just going to get a slap on the wrist later in court since 'they're minors' and all that bollocks.

Dublin is a very dangerous city to live in and for tourists that come in alone, the last 4 years, had a very big increase on the number of crimes, but most are not reported so cant be part in statistics, people don't bother reporting crime because the Garda the Irish police is useless and they take ages to show up ate crime scenes where there's no violence involved.
The Dublin inner city and the areas around Dublin, such as sword, blanchardstown, tallaght etc should be avoided.
Drunk teenagers in the city center causing havoc, people being punched alleatory, junkies treatening people at peak time at o connel street, mugging, break in at houses an cars, and sexual assault plus lots and lots of paedos, Dublin dont look like a european capital. would be better if people start to report the crimes.

Crime everywhere developed stays the same. It's the reporting of crime that changes. Ps Dublin is safe except for some bad areas like everywhere has.

I was attacked once in Dublin, they punched me. Not a safe city for european standarts. I lived in city centre, too many muggers and the so-called "knackers" everywhere. Walking alone in Temple Bar after 3am is very risky, you will see a lot of drunk people looking for trouble. Beware.

Dublin is probably one of the safest cities ever. However, there are places in like Tallaght ect. and the south of dublin that are considered "rough".

Almost every city in Numbeo has a high rate in crime increasy in the last 3 years. That's due to people's own imagination. I live in a violent city in Brazil and people are always saying it's worst now than the year before. But when you check the rates, crime rate has stayed more or less the same.

Surprised Dublin is so high on the crime list. Crime is really not that bad in Dublin at all. I think there is a massive discrepancy between how much crime there is in Dublin and how much crime people THINK there is.
