Information is one of the best ways to remain safe in an unfamiliar city.
Harrisburg has a crime risk factor much higher than an average American city.
That is nothing to fear, just a suggestion that you need to be cautious.
Lock car doors, use the latch-chain on the motel door, put valuables in the motel safe, keep your money in a moneybelt and out of sight, act like a local not a tourist, don't go to unfamiliar places alone or late at night. You can ask the desk staff at the motel if there are any areas of town that you might want to avoid.
Harrisburg stats: annual data:
10 murders, 35 rapes, 320 robberies, 750 assaults/burglaries, 2000 thefts.
