To be honest, I can think of a hundred reasons that I'd suggest you watch your backside....while on a trip to the US. But also....if you were an American visiting Germany....I'd probably also give you some advice on avoiding trouble or threats in Germany.
Urbanization threat? It doesn't matter if you are visiting San Francisco, Dallas, Munich or Frankfurt....you need to pay attention to where you are walking, and avoid certain parts of town.
Drugged-up idiots? Presently, I might give a edge to the US having a bigger problem. But you have to view the knifing business in Germany and how crazy people have become.
Escalation? There's no doubt that things have progressed over the past thirty years and predator-type crime exists in both countries.
Less so in rural areas? I can vouch in hundreds of German small towns....being 100-percent safe. You can walk in towns like Speyer, or Bitburg....10 PM, and feel completely safe. I can say the same thing for the majority of town in Oregon or Iowa.
Trouble at border entry? I can give examples out of Frankfurt....where an American got stupid at the airport. Lately, I've seen examples in the US....where some German got himself into trouble. Nothing is simple anymore.
