Same in Dublin. Had a chat with a cousin over Christmas, I was talking about how safe the inner-city is these days, and he reminded me of how he got jumped on O'Connell Street when he was up visiting and we were 15
And I'd to point out; yes! exactly! it's way safer than the 90s when we were kids

Also: the more that statistics on serious attacks are dominated by those who know each other, the less relevance to most people's safety.
