Kingston has some homeless people, but they are generally in known areas like Belle Park and the downtown portion of the K&P trail, so avoid those areas after dark to avoid any mishaps. Crime may be a tad more frequently in the Division Street part of town. The city of kingston police does maintain a crime map, so I encourage you to check it out as well.

Kingston is generally safe. There has been some break ins around the University campus where people get robbed but that is not too common. I am not worried to walk alone at night, even close to downtown.
