Toronto Crime?

Travel Info
How bad is the crime in Toronto? I'm visiting family for the first time in the don mills area and i've heard it can be pretty bad there (not by the family reading online and such). What sorts of crime are we speaking of? Is it worse then say Chicago?

Travel Tips

Don Mills is a bad area. I've lived in Flemington, it's not pretty at all.

I live in Don Mills.
If you even hear about crime in this area, it's unusual.
Unless you're female and like to go around alone at night in strange places, you have nothing to worry about.
Really, Toronto is a ***** cat compared with Chicago!
I've been to the South Side, so I know.

Come on up and leave you worries at home.
it's not safe at all,donmills area and toronto
Toronto, used to be a very safe city,but in the past few years we've been getting more youth crime,ie; gangs and street muggings. I would urge you to be cautious when walking alone at night,and be on guard during the day.
Don Mills is a safe area to visit or Live except few Appt. Buildings near that Shopping Mall (747 don Mills)
I think only Jane & wilson r Jane & Finch is a grey area
rest of the Toronto is OK
No.

It depends on the area of the city that you're visiting and the time of the day. Common sense.

Since you're visiting family, why not ask them directly.
If you grew up in Chicago, the thugs in Toronto will probably be scared of you...
