Dorchester

Roxbury
Looking for a night at the Roxbury? Even though our map doesn’t show much as a crime hotspot, Roxbury has faced challenges with crime rates in the past. This is particularly true in certain pockets of the neighborhood (as shown in our Boston neighborhood map). But, efforts have been made to improve safety and promote community development.
South End
South End, like any neighborhood, has areas with varying levels of safety. While generally considered a desirable neighborhood, certain areas of the South End have higher crime rates. However, the South End has seen significant revitalization. For instance, it’s now known for its restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions.

While a Boston crime map can display crime incidents in the city, it may not capture the complete picture of criminal activity in all areas. We advise for you to check local crime statistics including the City of Boston’s Public Safety statistics and the State of Massachusetts crime statistics.
