There is filthy criminal scum in any city on the planet, I don't know why people think of New York. I guess because most comic book superheroes or movies/tv shows are set in New York that people think it's like that in real life, it isn't. Chicago on the other hand has thousands of homicides by shootings every year.
There is also the Italian mob, the Russian mafia, the Asian Yakuza, the black gangstas, the dozens of hispanic gangs, the Mexican drug cartels, and the seedy underbelly of common criminals. You can find the criminal scum anywhere on the planet.
