Safety in Japan

Have you ever wondered why when you watch anime or JDrama that doors to houses never seemed to be locked? Its not because its unimportant to show characters unlocking a door but because the door really is unlocked.

This sign says "(I) closed it, (I) locked it but (let me) check one more time."
Many Japanese families who I know leave their front door closed but unlocked. I guess its a cultural or traditional thing that I cant get used too especially being brought up in Hackney London.
Do you live in an area safe enough to leave your front door unlocked?
