It's possible OP is not from the US. Most places in the OECD aren't as dangerous as US cities. But, when you are in a city and see
>razor wire and electrified fences around properties
That is a sure sign that LOCALS see dangers present

It is shocking at first to see razor wire, electric fences, perimeter sensors, shards of glass embedded at the top of concrete block walls.
In the US you don't know if that house you are targeting has someone inside waiting with a gun. That is shocking to many outside cultures too.
In South America, plenty of people have guns - they just don’t have permits or licenses for them. Chile is relatively orderly on that front, but most places aren’t.
So unlike the US, it’s a lot less likely someone is going to call the cops if someone gets shot.
