Incorrect

We obviously have crime everywhere, but cities are literal hives for those that require others to fulfill their needs. Its a recipe for disaster, cities are like echo chambers for crime.

There are of course towns that act as hubs for certain crimes due to a verity of circumstances. Take the 'town' of lions for example, practically an inner city without the city around it. But besides the expected low and stable crime level, smaller towns that are of sufficient distance from the major cities simply do not suffer from the high crime levels that major population zones do.
