I think Calgary is a safe city in Spring and Summer because here doesn't get dark until 9 p.m.! In Summer, it is more later! If it is bright, criminal can't do something bad. And we, especially women, don't feel fear. But we have to be careful in Winter because it gets dark early.
However, my hometown is safer than Calgary, because I think there are a few police station. In my hometown I can see it many times anywhere. If I have something bad and face a problem, I can ask and call police quickly. We feel secure in my town.
But of course, many kinds of crimes happen there. For example, a woman was stolen her bag by someone in midnight, someone broke a public property, and so on. These crime is likely to happen in midnight, and a woman is often targeted. Especially women must be careful about own self. Most important thing to avoid crime is to stay home in midnight.
In winter, I think the crime rate is low here because it's too cold for criminals to go outside! I think it's good advice anywhere to be especially careful at night.

For example, women's bags are stolen at night, public property is damaged, and so on. (This is 'passive voice'.)
