How do you determine if an area is safe for boondocking? How do you identify--and avoid--high crime areas?

I am assuming you are talking about rural areas. First, anyone can be a victim almost anyplace. I try to just be vigilent and observant. If I feel uncomfortable I wouldn't camp there. Are other campers in the area? Do I feel comfortable around them? It is just like driving in a different town that I haven't been in before. If I walk into a store am I in my comfort zone? I don't think it is any one thing.
I have to agree with the above statement. When DW and I boondock,we usually stay in BLM Campgrounds. We have stayed in several Wal Mart locations,but more often than not we stay in the BLM campgrounds, while traveling in our RV. Google RV Sue, she has a very interesting blog about Boondocking, Also Google MelloMike. He's also a moderator here and does a lot of boondocking. Whazoo also a member here has good info.
