Indeed safety is a very important consideration. But safety in different types of vehicles is determined by which type of infrastructure is emphasized.
If you design your city to be more pedestrian and biking friendly, there are more people walking and biking compared to cars, which naturally reduces the amount of mugging and car-bike accidents. For example, as number of cars on the road go down, police can invest resources into stopping muggings, instead of investing resources into catching car traffic violations.
