I saw a Toronto crime map once which showed the locations of all the shootings, muggings, etc. Call Toronto PD and ask them for this map. Avoid the "Entertainment District" at night and on weekends.

Jane and Finch - yes
Jarvis - is fine, it's more like Dundas EAST of jarvis (around Regent Park) that is to be avoided.
Queen west is fine from one end to the other. I'm out there all the time and never had any problems other than the odd pan handler / crack whore around Jameson for a couple of blocks on either side. Nothing you can't deal with in the big city.
I might add little Jamaica around Eglinton between Keele and Caledonia.
Nowhere in Toronto even comes close to what the US cities have to offer though.

I drove down George Street (Between Dundas/Gerrard) on my way home from Filmores not too long ago, and seen lined up along the fence in front of a couple buildings a good variety of very shady looking people (about 30 or so). It was around 2:30 am, I couldnt imagine living there.
Looked like a well rounded mix of crack heads, crack dealers, gang members and bottom of the barrel prostitutes.
Poverty ridden kill for $100 kind of people.

There was a documentary released called "THE REAL TORONTO" showing the reality of living in crime neighbourhoods of Toronto.

Not a problem at all. I spend tons of time there and don't have any issues at all, wherever I am in Scarborough.Cycleguy007 said:

My boss grew up in Parkdale. He said you are fine as long as you keep your word and mind your own business. If you don't, "street justice" will find you and none of this triple time off for time served.

Haven't been in years... Although I did stop for 20 minutes at Scarborough Twn Ctr a couple weeks ago...
Jane and Finch??
C'mon guys. Stop watching, and believing, everything you see on TV. Jane and Finch is a perfectly safe area. You can walk down the street at an hour with no problems.
Either you guys are paranoid, or it doesn't take much to shake you.
