It probably depends on which newspaper you read.
I don't know whether it is a stereotype or not, but my impression about America is that there are too many maniacs around there, much much more than in any other country. It may be just the Russian news agencies but yes, I get this impression every time I hear about gunshots in universities, schools and offices, loose snipers, etc.
When I came to NY for the first time I was told not to enter certain districts and have a little cash with myself in case of a robbery (so that the robber doesn't get angry and kill you if you don't have any).
I don't now anything about actual crime rates, but generally, my stereotype is that there are very many crazy people in the US.
