You might have heard of its nickname “Do or Die” Bed-Stuy. The neighborhood was the ultimate epitome of violence back in the 1980s, and may still be living to its legacy to this day. Its overall crime rates have increased up to 6 percent, with a crime rate of 212 violent crimes per 10,000 residents. Robberies, rapes, and felony assault incidences in the area continue to rise, which worries both old and new residents.
