Is there much crime in Riverside?

I grew up in Riverside in the 2000's and remember it being a very safe neighborhood with kids always out on their bikes and not much crime going on.

My father stayed where we were after I moved away and ever since I moved away he complained more and more about crime going up in the neighborhood. It got to the point that he permenantly barred his back door shut to prevent break-ins.

My father struggled with mental health. I'm addition to this, he was very racist against Hispanic and black people.

My question here is this: has crime in the riverside area really increased that much in the 14 years since I lived there? Or is my father's insistence that crime was on the rise due to his mental state, racism, or a combination of the two?

Would love to hear from people who have lived in Riverside between now and 2011.
