Maybe so Kathy, but not by much. Two primary reasons why small towns are less safe than they "used to be" are the inability to walk away from an insult and the loss of the "oneness" of the population. Small towns are no longer "communities" in the true sense of the word.
Personally, I think a discussion of personal behavior, being able to take a slap on the cheek as it were, is an important concept in "tactical" behavior.
All that said, small towns in America, or even large cities, are extremely safe, all things considered. Perhaps a discussion of real versus perceived danger would be appropriate somewhere. Not by me though, I've been down that road before.
