Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Josefstadt sits at 8.5 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Excellent). One thing worth knowing when reading such figures: crime statistics count offences where they HAPPEN, not where those affected live. Districts with major stations, nightlife and many visitors therefore collect more reports without a residential street a few corners away being any different.
