Depending on where you go in NJ it varies, but for the most part it is safe. Just steer clear from high crime areas at night such as, Newark, Camden, and Trenton. There are a lot of small quaint towns in NJ that are very safe.

Where I am its really safe, I don't know for everywhere but here I'm pretty confortable even at night. The streets are calm, I see a lot of cops, I'm in a small town so there is less to worried about

I feel safe in my area of New Jersey however I live in the suburbs and that's based on my experience here, I would probably not feel as safe in the cities here and crimes can happen anywhere at anytime unfortunately especially to us women. NYC is the city im closest to and i often go on day trips and feel safe.

Anywhere in the world can be dangerous always have a plan, be with someone if you’re not familiar with the area! New Jersey is a great place, great restaurants and great people. There are different parts of New Jersey each area is different the way we do things.
