Zagreb
Very safe, good public transport and a nice peaceful neighbourhood. It's ok to walk alone at night and getting a taxi is easy. Worst thing that can happen is a comment from some drunk guy on a friday night

Zagreb
Zagreb is very safe city. You can walk alone at night without worrying about anything. Maybe there are some parts of city that are little bit less safe but still pretty safe. There are no murders here od gun shootings. Biggest problem is bike stealing.

Split
Split us so safe that it's a cultural shock when I travel to another country and have to worry about being robbed. The kids play in the streets alone until midnight and there is no possibility of them being kidnapped (I also grew up that way). There can be a few questionable people on the bus, especially on lines 60 and 37, but you never have to feel endangered they are just in their own world and not harmful at all. If you imagine the safest place to visit, that is Split.

Its one of the best safest cities i have ever visited. Im not worried about stealing when I'm swimming in the sea. Everyone is so helpful and nice. The city has overall nice energy and a great place to chill and have fun

Zadar is a small city and I'd say it's a very calm and safe place. You may experience catcalling and men honking at you from their cars, but apart from that I'd say it's a very safe place for women to travel alone and go out at night.

Croatia, Group travel
Went on a roadtrip with friends and stopped in Zagreb, split, zadar and Dubrovnik. Felt safe but also because we were a group. The cities were clean and people were nice. We mostly travelled by car and stayed at airbnbs. Everything there went according to plan. We did a boat trip to the islands and enjoyed the beach. Dubrovnik was more full of tourists than I expected after the GoT hype but it was beautiful. Recommend trying to go another season it was too hot. Must see in Zagreb: museum of broken relationships; split: palace; zadar: sea organ; Dubrovnik: city walls.
