Kristiansand is the most unsafe city in Norway. Last night I just wanted to drink beer at a local pub, but I was mugged on the way home. This city is way more dangerous than Oslo.

Some people in the comments saying that immigrants are the main cause of relatively high crime rates in Kristiansand. Let me tell you that this not very true. I lived there many years of my life and natives are mainly the cause. Anywhere from a turbulent teenage norwegians to drunken local 50 years old . Here are some official statistics i won't talk much. "In 2018 Of the 163 youths who embarked offense first half is 42 immigrants or Norwegian-born to immigrant parents. This represents 23% of the total number. The decline in the number of young offenders apply primarily the oldest group from 15 to 17 years. Kristiansand has several 14-year-olds than 17-year-olds who commit offenses. Girls make up more current through increased use of threats and violence." Yes there are refugees, yes they commit some crimes here, but not the main reason. Please people have your facts right.
