Amsterdam was voted the second-best city in the world by Time Out in 2021, and around 2.5 million people from across the world visit the city every year, according to Dutch Art Institute.
The city is arguably best known for its Red Light District. This neighborhood is often visited by "nuisance tourists," which the city's government website says are often British men between the ages of 18 and 34, according to The Independent.
They've been known to visit the neighborhood for bachelor parties or to visit sex workers in the famous red-light windows.
On the other side of the world, in 2020, the Bourough of the Bronx had a violent crime rate of 663.15 incidents per 100,000 residents. Out of the 100 most populous cities in the United States, the Bronx's violent crime rate is the 46th highest in the nation.
Long Beach, Reno, Pittsburgh, Seattle and Las Vegas all have similar violent crime rates as the Bronx.
What is the reason of this violence in one place, and no violence on the other? Frustrated young people? Just a "peaceful" thought.
