Sam,
These questions are best responded to by the local police department or county sheriff's department. They have access to the most accurate and up to date information available and are generally very willing to be helpful.

Good luck

Sam I serve the Triad with agents in Burlington. I am including a link to the Burlington Police website. As a licensed Realtor in NC you have to understand that we cannot comment on items that might "steer" you to or from an area based on many criteria. We can furnish you with the ways and places to find that information. In some cases we can provide the information. If you need anything feel free to contact myself through my profile here on Trulia.

The best thing you can do is call the local police department and ask them. they can give you areas that have more crime etc ...
hope this helps
