Answer 1

In 1942 American GIs were given a booklet which introduced them to the UK.  In it, they read that there were fewer murders per year in UK than in a single American City.

Nothing much has changed.

Murder stats 2007 UK 750

Murder stats 2007 NYC 560 [a single US City]

. . .and no, Hackney is not a dangerous place and no it is not like Harlem nor like anywhere in the USA.  This is London.

Answer 2

Hackney is an area in East London. I used to live there and it's not the nicest area and slightly unsafe to be honest...However, it's not as bad as many other areas in London and as long as you keep in mind that you're in a big city and bad stuff can happen you should be ok..I had no bad experiences whilst living there...
