How safe is Aracaju?

I'm from the South and I think Aracaju is a very safe city, but of course if you're walking alone at night on the street while using your phone, there's a chance you might get mugged. In terms of harassment, from my experience and that of my friends, it is very rare to happen (at most, we're called attractive or other not very serious types of harassment). I always walk alone at night and, in the five years I've lived here, it has only happened twice that a guy stopped his motorcycle and tried to hit on me (but just raise your voice and be aggressive and they go away).
