This is an interesting site that must access some database to record all crimes in Paris and in other areas of France. Interestingly, much of the site, including some awkward translations, is in French.
You may want to check on the area you’re staying at or get a feel for the underbelly of the city. Some I quickly read:
Shootings at the base of Sacré Coeur.
Scammers stealing credit card numbers.
Pedestrian run over by taxi.
47-year old man dead lying by Métro.
