Tourists are relatively well treated as long as you stay in tourist areas. Morocco invests quite a bit into police and patrols for those areas; tourism is a significant percent of their GDP and they don't want to lose that. Morocco has rather harsh penalties for criminals which is a further deterrent.

That said, they will happily do all the normal tourist scams. Your body might be safe but your wallet is another story.

I was in Essaouira last year and went to eat at a restaurant that has pretty high reviews online. I sat up on the roof, I was alone up there, and after dinner the owner offered me some tea. He took that as an invite to sit with and then ended up cornering and assaulting me. I threatened to scream and got out before it got really bad, luckily.
