It's not about a fear of crime, it's about the fact that Woodward south of Six Mile is not conducive for cruising.
It's the same reason why eastsiders don't cruise Van Dyke, Garfield, Hayes, or Groesbeck. The eastside cruisers from Sterling Heights, Shelby, and Clinton Twp don't drive all the way down to Roseville and Eastpointe because they think it's particularly safe or nice. They go there because that stretch of Gratiot is conducive for cruising.
