I hate to say it, season of goodwill and all that, but you're wrong again.
Your chance of being a victim of crime very much depends on your 'class' (wealth/poverty), and which area you live in. All recorded data on the subject back this up.
Murder: an example of crime and inequality
The risk of being murdered is not equally distributed across society. Instead, the poorer the place you live in, the more likely you are to be murdered. - People living in the poorest 10% of wards in Britain are about 5.7 times more likely to be murdered than those living in the least poor (richest) 10%.
- This ratio is increasing with time: people living in the poorest 10% of Britain, are 182% more likely than average to be murdered, while the likeliness of those in the richest 20% being murdered has been falling over time.

Mosside or Malmesbury?
Wonder where I'd feel safer?
