Bradford tops Europe's perceived-crime index; France has seven top-30 cities

So what

On residents' own perceptions, British and French cities dominate Europe's crime-worry ranking: France has seven of the top 30 and the UK six, led by Bradford, Marseille and Coventry. Capitals such as Paris, London and Brussels all score in the mid-50s on the 0-100 index. Because the index measures crowd-sourced perception rather than recorded crime, it says as much about public mood, a factor in talent mobility and politics, as about actual risk.
