Law Enforcement & Healthcare - Crime Rates and Opinions about Law Enforcement

The crime rate in Haven is not very high when compared to surrounding cities such as London. It is generally considered a pretty safe city, though there are areas that your character would do well to avoid if they prefer not to get into trouble. The Underground is, unfortunately, the most unsafe part of the city, as there are many ways for people to hide the kinds of crimes they are committing. The practice of black magic and the ownership and trade of slaves are the main concerns of law enforcement in Haven, though these tend to happen in small circles. Slaves are mostly captured from outside the city and brought in, and generally the only species that is most susceptible to being captured are the humans. Vampires and werecreatures are more likely to be involved with the slave trade, and Unseelie fae are more likely to be involved with black magic.

The general opinion of law enforcement is that they are there to protect and serve, although the racism of the city does tend to leak into this as well. The fact that mages are all fae makes some people feel like the law enforcement is stuck up and thinks itself better than others, while the huntsmen generally being shifters and werecreatures can lead some to believe that the police force “just lets anyone in these days”.
