Residents avoid public transit after dark, and nighttime street walks are considered risky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cockrell Hill<\/strong>, a small Dallas suburb, also suffers from high crime rates. Homicides, armed robberies, burglaries, and auto thefts are common. Some streets are notorious for illegal activities, and police response can be slow.
