Is Bedford-Stuyvesant safe?

specifically off the a/c/ on norstrand, and even more specifically Hancock street.
I've lived in Manhattan for 10+ years, I get the general awareness thing, but I'm worried that moving there I won't be able to walk around at night freely and be (somewhat) fully relaxed like I currently am. Also is it a lively microcosm?

thanks for the help and have a good one,

Tom
