I was in the middle of Turku during the night a few times last summer, including during the weekends. Seems to be fairly safe, again at least as long as you are not drunk and keep your eyes open.

But then the worst thing to happen in Turku during the last years was that terrorist knife attack 2017, and that happened in the middle of the afternoon, in the middle of the city, and only about a mile, or a kilometer and a half, from the police headquarters for the whole province of Southwestern Finland.

I haven't actually tried to check this, but the rumor is that the police who shot the Moroccan stabber - not killed, unfortunately - was fired afterwards.
