The level of crime in France is similar to the level of crime in most developped countries. For tourists, the major risk lies in being unaware that some places (crowded subway lines in touristic areas, spots around popular landmarks) may attract some robbers. The best protection is to have some awareness about the situation keep a miminum of vigilance in crowded areas to prevent theft. Violent crime itself is very rarely reported in touristical zones as a large police presence tends to deter violent offenders. French people living in the suburbs are the first victims of crime, mainly theft or dilapidation of their property. The "Préfecture de Police" in Paris displays useful information and advice in English on its website (link)
