I think crime prevention is one of those things you never want to dismiss outright. At the very least you just ignore it when it's not in people's minds. But if Nenshi goes out and says that crime isnt that big of a problem, and then a week later you have some gangshooting, he'll be seen and attacked as being soft on crime. People might not always worry about their safety, but they want to make sure it's being taken care of.
