Is there a lot of crime in Croatia?

We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...

"Crime in Croatia is relatively low compared to other European countries. However, there have been reports of petty theft, pickpocketing, and other minor crimes in tourist areas. Violent crime is rare, but it does occur in some areas. Drug trafficking is also a problem in Croatia, and the government has taken steps to combat it," commented one expat who made the move to Croatia.
