According to the mid-2025 rankings, the top five most dangerous cities in Europe are Bradford, Marseille, Coventry, Birmingham, and Naples.
Four of the top five cities — Bradford, Coventry, Birmingham, and London — are located in the United Kingdom. Bradford leads the list with a Crime Index of 67.1, the highest in Europe.
One area of concern is rising knife crime. In the year ending March 2024, there were roughly 50,500 offences involving a knife in England and Wales, up notably from 33,800 in 2011.
France accounts for seven of the top 10 entries, including Marseille, Grenoble, Montpellier, Nantes, Paris, Lyon, and Nice. Despite their cultural and economic prominence, these cities report strong local concerns about petty theft, vandalism, and other poverty-related issues.
Marseille, in particular, remains associated with organized crime, while Paris struggles with perceptions of street crime in tourist areas.
