Glasgow was the murder capital of europe for a long time. I grew up and lived there at that time, went to all the popular night spots, never had a problem, never saw a problem. These things tend to be very, very localised. It's not to say there isn't a problem, there is, but not compared to the miles of streets there are in any particular city.

Stop and search would surely improve things. New York has been very tough on crime, zero tolerance has ruled the day and it gets results. Do people have the courage to take the same approach here? I doubt it.
